Community Harvest Food Bank meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
Community Harvest seeks to alleviate hunger through the use of donated food and other resources.
Year, State Incorporated:
1983, IN
Community Harvest Food Bank was established in 1983 in response to the closure of the International Harvester plant that sent tens of thousands into unemployment. Social service agencies, churches, and faith-based organizations were overwhelmed with requests for assistance and people were finding it difficult to feed their families. During the first year of operation, Community Harvest distributed 200,000 pounds of food to the hungry. In 1983, the food bank became incorporated as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. By 1985, Community Harvest distributed its first million pounds of food. Today, we are the regional food bank for northeast Indiana, proudly serving the counties of Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wells, and Whitley.
