All you have to do is visit Stop & Shop in Flemington, purchase your re-usable “GIVE” tote, then follow the directions on the tag, or drop your tag at the Harvest mailbox at 5 East Main Street. They’ll take it from there! For every tote purchased, the Harvest Family Success Center will receive $ towards offering free programming, education, and more.

Support Black Organizers through Reparations Giving
Something that has come up in Reparations groups lately is abandonment of the work by white people. Fundraisers are stalled, and monthly payment commitments are being canceled. Black organizers have attributed that abandonment to a new president and a belief that we're "back to normal." You can help!
1. If you've never given before, pick a fundraiser and send $5
2. If you give semi-regularly, up the ante and commit to a monthly payment to a Black organizer
3. If you've never shared a fundraiser with your network, give it a try. You'll be surprised who shows up.
