01What it does

What Community Harvest of Central Vermont does

Mission

We bring our community together through gleaning to recover surplus food produced on area farms to feed those with limited access to nutritious, fresh local food, and in the process help the community to gain a greater awareness and appreciation of the local food system, healthy eating, and waste reduction.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. We use food grown on local farms that would otherwise not be harvested and sold to enhance the health and well-being of the central vermont community. The program brings together community volunteers to recover produce from local farmers' fields after the harvest, and by doing so, keeps farm surplus from going to waste. The fresh gleaned produce is provided to disadvantaged central vermont community members making nutritious fresh local food available to more of our community.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

From the IRS filings of COMMUNITY HARVEST OF CENTRAL VERMONT’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $98k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
