Annual Shut-Down
Community Harvest will be closed for its annual July shut-down beginning Monday, July 5, through Sunday, July 11. We will reopen with normal business hours on Monday, July 12.
Agency Day
With COVID in 2020, the food bank suspended its annual Agency Day, and we're happy to announce the 2021 dates with a fully online schedule! Agency Day is an annual required event for all active agencies that informs about food safety guidelines, updates on best practices, and educates about topics relevant to our organizations. This year, we're excited to have a session covering grants, community resources, available programs, agency capacity, volunteer engagement, and donor engagement. We can't wait to see you there!
RSVP is required for all agencies. There are four dates available, each with a morning and afternoon session. A maximum of 40 agencies can sign up for each session, first come first serve.
Agency Day Dates:
- July 30, 2021
- August 6, 2021
- August 20, 2021
- August 27, 2021
Please contact Agency Services to request more information or reserve your spot by contacting (260) 447-3696, or emailing Terri Alexander at oalexander@communityharvest.org.
Agency Surveys
Community Harvest has made a focus of its strategic plan going forward to build agency capacity. In 2020, a special Feeding America grant made it possible to share over $300,000 with agencies to help them purchase food, equipment, and supplies for their distributions and outreach. We want to focus on getting more resources for agencies in a strategic way based on feedback, so we've created an agency survey that will guide us in this goal to make opportunities available to agencies that are relevant and in demand.
The survey should be easy to complete and fairly fast, taking approximately 30 minutes to finish. We've asked questions that cover a range of topics to get a better understanding of what challenges you face and what we can do to assist you in your mission. All feedback received is important to us!
