MOBILE HARVEST
ABOUT MOBILE HARVEST
In 2018, the Garden launched its Mobile Harvest Program, which provides fresh produce to high need areas of our community. In addition, the Garden continued to support multiple community garden sites to help provide healthy organic produce to area food deserts. The Garden at High Plains Food Bank is offering a drive-through produce distribution, based on availability at 3 weekly sites:
Monday – Heal the City, located in the Generation Next parking lot at 6th and Tennessee, beginning at 11:30AM
Wednesday – ACTS Community, located at 202 S Louisiana, beginning at 11:30AM
Thursday – New Hope Baptist Church, located at 1305 NW 9th Ave., beginning at 11:30AM

Mobile Harvest
Mobile Harvest is a program of the High Plains Food Bank which aims to minimize food waste and empower healthy choices in food insecure households by providing access to nutritious fruits and vegetables for free. Twice a week, we fill up our food truck with any produce that’s available and distribute it farmer’s market-style at our partnering agencies, Heal the City Free Clinic, Acts Community Resource Center, and New Hope Baptist Church.
It takes a lot of manpower to move the thousands of pounds of produce we distribute on average each week, and we need the help of volunteers in order to keep this program operating smoothly. During each shift, volunteers will help load the truck at the HPFB warehouse, unload and set up a stand at the distribution site, fill sacks for the recipients, and help clean up and break down boxes before leaving the site.
