The partners for Harvest Share include:

Harvest Share was identified as an action, that when combined with other actions in our community, has a reasonable chance of making a difference in food insecurity and access to food outcomes in Yancey County. This is an ongoing program in our community. 

The customers for this program are all Yancey County residents. Harvest Share aims to make a difference at the individual, interpersonal, organizational, and community change levels. Implementation will take place at West Burnsville Baptist Church on Wednesdays during the growing season.

Harvest Share saw more families than ever before in 2022. Toward the end of the Harvest Share season, the program transitioned from an emergency food system distribution where food was pre-selected and back to a community food support model. Harvest Share participants could walk up to a community market-style distribution tent and self-select local produce to take home.

Harvest Share market took place for 26 weeks in 2023. The average number of people served weekly rose to 462. This free community market fed an average of 181 households per week in 2023.
