Provide Emergency Food Relief on Community Farm on Southcoast of MA.Sharing the Harvest Community Farm Project-Dartmouth YMCA

The Sharing the Harvest YMCA Community Farm Project is an effort to alleviate hunger at the local level.  The community farm at the Dartmouth YMCA was created for the express purpose of producing fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables.  This nutrient-rich produce is grown under organic principals, and is a result of the collaborative efforts YMCASouthcoast with the Hunger Commision, a project of the United Way of Greater New Bedford.   Although our major focus is growing nutritional food to alleviate hunger, this project promotes volunteerism and fosters the education of volunteers and the community at large to understand and confront the reality of hunger right in their own communities.  Community volunteers from businesses, schools and civic organizations bring their energy and their enthusiasm to help fulfill our mission to grow nutritious food to feed the hungry in their communities.
