The Harvesters Volunteer Engagement Center is a vital part of their mission to feed hungry people today and work to end hunger tomorrow. In this area, volunteers sort and repack food, which assists Harvesters in feeding more than 141,500 people each month. KUMC's THRIVE Food Pantry and several student organizations are Harvesters Agency Partners.
Harvesters is committed to creating and sustaining a safe environment for its staff, volunteers, and visitors regarding necessary precautions surrounding COVID-19. No matter what the level of community transmission, we encourage all volunteers and visitors to be prepared to wear a mask when going to volunteer.
IN addition:
- All volunteers must be free of any contagious illness (runny nose, colds, the flu, strep throat, etc.)
- Close toed shoes and long pants (no shorts, skirts or dresses) are required.
- Volunteers without close toe shoes will not be able to serve in the Volunteer Engagement Center
- Dressing in layers and bringing a jacket is recommended, even during the summer.
- Please leave all valuable jewelry at home. This includes rings which may come off in the packing process.
