Sharing the Harvest 2020

October 24, 2020 @ 12:00 pm

Take a bite out of hunger

For the last several years Pacific Northwest Conference Churches have joined to take a bite out of hunger by purchasing apples through Sharing the Harvest (STH). STH sells Yakima-area apples (3 Varieties at $10/10 lb.) to participating PacNWC churches and all those resources go to Jitokeze Wamama Wafrika, an organization in West Pokot, Kenya that is empowering women in agriculture and community development. Watch the short video below for a brief explanation of Sharing the Harvest and how one woman’s life was changed through Jitokeze and then sign-up to participate in Sharing the Harvest 2020.

[Click Here] to Sign Up for Sharing the Harvest 2020

We are offering both a NEW online purchase option and our traditional option with envelopes. If you would like envelopes, how many order envelopes do you need for your pre-sale of apples? (Usually it is one per bulletin. Items for your sale will be mailed to you mid-September (no later than September 16th). All sales are due by October 12th.) Please provide an answer of how many envelopes you need under the image of the envelope. *

Pickup Dates are October 24th and 31st.

Buy apples and empower women.
When your church signs-up for Sharing the Harvest you get to purcahse apples and all the proceeds go to help women like Viola.
We provide you with everything you need to promote Sharing the Harvest in your church and give your people the opportunity to take a bite out of hunger and malnutrition.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Hunger
The World Food Program (WFP) has noted that the number of people facing extreme hunger could double from 135 million to 265 million by the end of 2020, unless swift action is taken. Jitokeze is one such organization making a difference.

Jitokeze Mask Making
Thanks to a grant from Covenant World Relief, Jitokeze has been busy making masks to help the broader community stay healthy and thrive.

Get Your Church Involved.
Maybe you thought about it in the past, but this can be the year your participation can empower your church, provide some tasty Yakima apples, and make a powerful impact. We will not have our full Packing Day Celebration, but we’ll have the same great apples.
