After the Harvest KC provides healthy food for hungry people by working with farmers to gather produce left behind and delivering it to feed people in need. Serve KC volunteers will be gleaning produce near KC, but we won’t know which farm until closer to the event date.
Please do not RSVP if you’re unwilling to drive 45 minutes to the farm or unsure if you can attend. We will post the location as soon as we know.
CHECK FOR UPDATES: Please check back on the meetup site prior to leaving your house for last minute any updates. Due to weather this event may need to be canceled or rescheduled.
NO BUG SPRAY / NO BATHROOMS: Please apply bug spray before you leave home. Most farms are organic, so you won’t be able to spray there. Most farms do not have public restrooms and using the field is never allowed, so you’ll have to drive to the closest facility.
Bring: Water, sunscreen and garden gloves if you have them.
Dress: Wear a hat, sunglasses, closed-toed old shoes and socks (sandals just don’t work in fields). Lightweight pants and a long-sleeved shirt are recommended—you’ll stay cooler if you’re covered.
Waiver: If you have access to a printer please sign & bring to the site
Kid-Friendly: There is no minimum age, but children need to be old enough to follow directions, not step on the crops, or wander off.
Delivery Drivers: After gleaning the produce must be delivered to food banks, pantries or kitchens. Please let the field coordinator know if you’re able to deliver to one of the sites.
If you would like to get more information or sign-up for a glean individually visit the After the Harvest website.
