Reaping a Harvest of Compassion

Looking to spend a rewarding summer day helping others while possibly learning new skills?

Consider volunteering at Community Harvest Project, 37 Wheeler Road, North Grafton.

More than 80,000 people, including many youngsters and seniors, must rely on the Worcester County Food Bank as a source of food each year. But the Food Bank doesn't have many sources of fresh vegetables.

That is where Community Harvest Project comes in. The project brings together volunteers, individuals and families, as well as school, church and civic groups, to grow healthy vegetables on the farm.

Together, these volunteers help the project grow tens of thousands of pounds of tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, squash and other healthy foods, all of which are donated for hunger relief.
