Sustainability Program Associate
201 1/2 HARRISON ST. | TAFT, CA 93268
Laborers of the Harvest has a long history of meeting the needs of the community’s hungry families.
WE DISTRIBUTE THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF FOOD EACH MONTH.
SB1383 LEGISLATION
In January 2021, California implemented new legislation [SB1383] that restricts the disposal of fresh rescued food from grocery stores from going onto landfills.
One extremely positive by-product of the legislation is that edible food—food that may be past its “sell-by" date but is still completely fine to eat—must be repurposed and redistributed.
With 1 in 5 Californians experiencing food insecurities, this legislation will help local food banks—like Laborers of the Harvest—to repurpose and redistribute tasty, nutritious food to hungry families right here in our community.
OPEN HARVEST
Our popular Open Harvest Program is open every Tuesday and Thursday evening in Taft for working people. Open Harvest features fresh food in addition to canned and shelf-stable foods.
YOUR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED
FOOD DISTRIBUTION AND PICK UP TIMES
There is no requirement to receive food from Laborers of the Harvest.
