Your recent donation has made a direct impact towards supporting families move out of poverty, right here across our North Shore neighbourhoods. It takes a community to raise a child and it is with our deepest gratitude we say thank you. Here is just one mom’s story and how your efforts helped change her direction:

When I came to the Harvest Project I was escorted there by "The Suicide Prevention Program “. I was devastated by a landslide of unfortunate events including losing my job and an array of mental conditions that I had to learn how to cope with. I could not afford to feed my child. Every time she went to the empty cupboards looking for food, I fell deeper into despair. At Harvest Project, I was welcomed with warmth and positive direction. My councilor helped me to set realistic goals that I was able to achieve and put me into Art Therapy and Money Management programs at the center of my path for change. I had food. I had support. I had clothing. I had friends. I worked VERY hard on my goals and to do list. I was not just there for free food. I was there for the integrity of the program. I am happy to say I have now graduated. I still struggle to survive at times, however, I am no longer drowning. I know how to make it on my own. Harvest Project gave me the support and survival tools, right when I needed them. But MOST importantly, I am thriving independently now. - A very grateful single mom.
