The Harvest Drive incorporates all aspects of philanthropy by
promoting the concept of children and adults working
hand-in-hand to offer needy families in Broward County gifts of
food and other necessities during the Thanksgiving holidays.
Educating children and creating a consciousness about the
needs of their community; promoting altruism and giving them
the opportunity to help others are the cornerstone of the
Harvest Drive - "Children Helping Children."
Purpose of The Harvest Drive
To provide needy families with children residing in Broward
County with a complete Thanksgiving meal and a week's worth
of groceries, as well as personal and household necessities
during Thanksgiving season.
The unique characteristic of the program is that in addition to
the business and corporate donations, children are at the helm
of all collections. In addition to helping others, the purpose of
the Harvest Drive is to teach children at an early age that their
contributions can make a difference in the lives of others, by
facilitating their direct participation in the project.
The Harvest Drive in Action
The Harvest Drive is a yearlong project that culminates in an
event that takes place at several public schools every
Thanksgiving. Fundraising efforts and collections are under
way throughout the fall season. In years past, student from
over
40 public and private schools, churches, temples and
neighborhoods have held drives and supplied the Harvest
Drive
with the non-perishable food that is distributed to the families.
Community businesses, corporations, PTAs and volunteer
organizations have generously sponsored the Harvest Drive by
providing money to purchase the perishable foods. High school
clubs collect large quantities of food obtained at local grocery
stores throughout the county. Some girl scout troops march
around their neighborhoods collecting food for this project.
