Thank you to all our wonderful guests and sponsors!
Thank you to all who came to our first fundraising event! Your generous support helped us to raise nearly $13,000!! Proceeds will help us to hire our first employee and ensure that we can continue to provide fresh vegetables to area food banks. A special thanks to our wonderful sponsors, Cathedral of Joy who provided the facility, those who made scrumptious desserts for our Dessert Rush, and businesses and persons who donated products and services for our Silent Auction. Lastly, thanks to all the Fields of Grace volunteers who put in countless hours to bring it all together. Your generosity was truly appreciated!
Fields of Grace
Fields of Grace was established in April 2006 as a ministry at West Side Church in Richland, WA. The program began when 2nd Harvest Tri-Cities voiced a need for fresh produce for area food banks and area farmers wanted to donate a portion of their crops, but lacked the resources to pick the additional produce.
We provide
the hands of service that pick the fruits and vegetables for residents in need. Since its inception, the ministry has trained over 900 volunteers who have logged nearly 6,000 hours of service to harvest nearly 400,000 pounds of produce. This produce has included apples, sweet corn, carrots, sweet cherries, apricots, plums, grapes, prunes, tomatoes, and potatoes.
