Programs at Harvest Forward
We start where the need is most urgent and build thoughtfully from there. Our programs respond to real gaps in the food system, shaped by community partners and grounded in learning from what works.
Active Program
Fresh Food Drives
Our Fresh Food Drives bring nutritious produce directly to communities that need it most. Working with local donors and volunteer teams, we collect, sort, and distribute fresh fruits and vegetables through trusted community partners.
Each drive is designed to be responsive and community-specific — no two look exactly alike, because no two communities have the same needs.
In Development
Cultural Food Boxes
We're co-designing culturally relevant food boxes with refugee and immigrant communities — because fresh food should feel like home. Each box will feature ingredients selected by community members, honoring diverse food traditions and dietary practices.
This program is being built collaboratively, centering the voices and expertise of the communities it's meant to serve.

Farm Forward Partnerships
We're building partnerships with Ohio farmers to strengthen local agriculture and create reliable pathways for fresh produce to reach underserved communities.
By connecting growers directly with distribution networks, we aim to reduce waste, support local livelihoods, and ensure more fresh food reaches the table.
