Salem Harvest is a partner with Iskam MǝkʰMǝk-Haws that connects farmers and backyard growers
with volunteer pickers to harvest fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste. We invite
you to join us in our mission of building a compassionate community where neighbors help neighbors
in a spirit of goodwill, where hungry families can gain self-sufficiency, where our urban and rural
bounty is recognized and appreciated, and where simple, sustainable lifestyles are celebrated.
Here’s how it works
Many commercial growers and private homeowners have trees, bushes, vines or entire
orchards and fields that produce more fresh fruit or vegetables than they can harvest. We
invite them to register their crops online. Donations are tax deductible. Some growers are
eligible for a 15% tax credit.
Working closely with growers, volunteer leaders organize harvests to gather the fresh produce.
Volunteer pickers sign up online, checking off a liability waiver that protects crop owners.
At least half of each harvest is delivered to Marion-Polk Food Share or its affiliated food
pantries. Harvest volunteers may take home the remainder for children or homeless,
unemployed, elderly or low-income individuals.
We all benefit
Harvests offer an opportunity for families to work together in the outdoors, meet local farmers and
gain a better understanding of where our food comes from. In a state with the highest rate of
childhood hunger in the nation, harvests offer local growers a compassionate alternative to letting
their crops go to waste and provide low-income families a way to gain self-sufficiency. Parents have
an opportunity to teach their children to care for others.
Meet new friends
Harvests pull together a broad cross-section of the community representing diverse socioeconomic
levels and ethnic groups. Hundreds of individuals primarily interested in sustainable lifestyles work
alongside people who struggle with job loss and other economic challenges. Children are welcome at
most harvests.
Get Registered
Registering is required if you want to pick fruit or vegetables with us, but you also will then be on the
email list for newsletters and announcements. After you register you are eligible to sign up for
harvests. Please contact Francene Ambrose, pantry coordinator, for more information at 503-879-
3663.
