Harvest and its community farm lend itself to be a natural partner with the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). Our homeowners have given through canned food drives, produce from the community gardens, and cash donations.
In February 2015, Harvest had a total of 95 occupied homes. By the end of 2015, Harvest had a total of 230 occupied homes. We had a very busy year and are proud to say that in 2015 we have donated 2,570 meals! We couldn't have done this without the support of our homeowners.
