Community Harvest Project, Inc. is a non-profit organization with a mission to build an engaged and healthier community by bringing volunteers together to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for hunger relief.  Thousands of volunteers every year, including school, church, civic, local business and corporate groups, work together to plant, grow and harvest the fresh fruit and produce that is donated to the Worcester County Food Bank and other hunger relief organizations in the area.
