In 2015, Harvest Pierce County salvaged over 50,000lbs of produce that otherwise would have gone to waste, distributing it to those experiencing hunger in Pierce County. That’s 50,000lbs of top quality food that didn’t have to use tremendous amounts of fossil fuels in order to reach those in need, because it went straight to the local community. Today, there are 80 community gardens, orchards & food forests in Pierce County - a number that continues to rise.
