Ventera volunteers at the Harvest for the Hungry

In an effort to further support the FNS Mission, Ventera volunteered in this year’s Harvest for the Hungry with the USDA FNS Team. Harvest for the Hungry was started in 1995, for the purpose of distributing fresh produce to needy organizations throughout the Washington and Baltimore areas. The produce is grown in support of research programs at the USDA Agricultural Research Center (BARC) in Beltsville, MD. Each year, about 75,000 pounds of fresh produce is harvested by volunteers and distributed to local organizations trying to combat hunger.
