Final 3 Days of Fundraiser!

"When you see a bruised piece of fruit or misshaped vegetable, you may consider throwing it out. But at Harvest Kitchen, we see beyond that. We see a piece of produce that can be transformed with some attention, care, and creativity to be something more..." - Claudia Espaillat, Program Coordinator https://www.crowdrise.com/harvest-kitchen

Making Progress with Your Help

Fundraising for new kitchen & retail space

All our generous supporters have made good headway toward this aspirational fundraising goal. But there's still a ways to go!

** DONATE NOW **

Your donation will be used to:

Offer additional programming Harvest Kitchen trainees are youth ages 16-20 from DCYF's Juvenile Corrections Services and those aging out of the foster care system.

Cover moving expenses The kitchen crew is excited to move into the new space—on the corner of Main St & Bayley St in Pawtucket—later this summer!

Outfit the kitchen & the trainees The trainees need critical cooking supplies like pots, pans, bowls and utensils. And aprons/uniforms will help trainees and their customers take pride in this exciting undertaking!

Equip the retail & event areas Pawtucket Central Falls Development has transformed the space beautifully. Now it needs things like shelves, displays, signs and menus.

Purchase tableware/flatware The new retail space will offer the community fresh, tasty food for dine in and/or take out.

Provide building materials for tables The young people at Youthbuild Providence are building tables for the retail space as their summer project! Some materials have been donated, but more are needed.

Enable learning through multimedia With a projector and screen, educational videos can accompany cooking demos, and the event space can host community movie nights!
