Our Mission
We're on a mission to provide healthy food and sustainable solutions to those experiencing crisis and food scarcity in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
Our goal is to build a network of support and resources that not only meet immediate needs but also empower individuals and families to achieve long-term self-sufficiency and improve their quality of life through partnerships with local experts and organizations.
Hive to Harvest is cultivating community gardens, partnering with local farms, and establishing sustainable food distribution networks. By providing consistent access to healthy food, we aim to improve wellness, foster resilience, and empower communities, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive despite their circumstances.
