Gainesville Harvest is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to eliminating hunger and reducing waste by delivering leftover or donated food to the hungry people of Alachua County. In 1999, Harvest delivered almost 1 million pounds of food to local soup kitchens, subsidized day-care centers, community kitchens and other congregate feeding sites in Alachua County. Volunteers are needed to pick up and deliver food. They are given an orientation, and deliveries are coordinated according to volume and size of vehicle required. Deliveries are made daily, morning and afternoon.
Emergency teams are available to pick up from catered events.
