Salem Harvest

Donation Goal: $5,000

This year, our charity team includes Salem Harvest. These folks do so much in our community. Salem Harvest is a non-profit that connects farmers and backyard growers with volunteer pickers to harvest fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste. Salem Harvest has as its principal purpose the distribution of food without charge to children or homeless, unemployed, elderly or low-income individuals.

They have a cheerful army of 2,600 volunteers, making Salem Harvest the largest community harvesting organization in Oregon. You may see some of these volunteers on the race course pointing the way.

This year, please consider partnering with Outward Church and their annual Thanksgiving Meal Program.  Each year they arrange, cook and deliver a full meal to many challenged families in our community.

The 2023 goal is to cook and deliver over 200 meals! At this year's increasing cost level, this is about $40,000. Many of these previously were at least partially sponsored by generous Run’ucopia runners.  To sponsor a family’s full meal, it is $100. (with gifts $150) Or please consider just the turkey at $40, or just the sides for $20. You can see a video & read more about it here: https://thxsalem.square.site/about

If you would like to join in delivering Thanksgiving meals, it is greatly appreciated. See their website above. They will be doing lots of cooking through the night in order to deliver on Thanksgiving. The Outward team appreciates any help that you can provide.

A new addition to our race charity group is Salem Harvest.  Salem Harvest is a non-profit organization that connects farmers and backyard growers with volunteer pickers to harvest fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste. Salem Harvest has as its principal purpose the distribution of food without charge to children or homeless, unemployed, elderly or low-income individuals.

Since 2010 more than three million pounds of fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables have been donated by a cheerful army of 2,600 volunteers, making Salem Harvest the largest community harvesting organization in Oregon.
