Welcome!
Our Mission: To be a visible demonstration of the Kingdom of God by acts of mercy that meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those we serve.
Who We Are
 Community Harvest is a provisional food pantry that has been in operation out of Trinity Church in Morton since March 2008. We are open every Saturday from 10am - 12pm for residents of Tazewell County who are in need. No income verification is necessary.
Over 100 volunteer hours are spent each week receiving, loading, preparing, and distributing food. We serve an average of 650 households per month, or 2500 people. Over 1000 of those are children.
The Need Is Great
-
The rural population is at the greatest risk of food insecurity without resources to meet their needs.
-
7.5 tons of food are currently received and distributed out of Community Harvest every month to hungry people throughout Tazewell County.
-
Only 25% of our current client base comes for food on any given week. The potential exists for a significant increase in demand, even without new customers
-
Community Harvest has outgrown our space within the church building, and cannot expand to meet the growing needs
-
Children are especially affected by food insecurity. Over 700 children a month are served by Community Harvest
The Opportunity Is Now
Community Harvest functions with the help and support of the community – We Need You! Get Involved today!
