Haven’s Harvest
Our mission is to build community and reduce food waste, one food rescue at a time. We create relationships — with our donors, receiving partners and our volunteers. Creating a robust community network is necessary to direct the food to people rather than letting the food go to waste. This network increases the resiliency of our community. We are based in New Haven, but we work in the greater New Haven area, New London County, Middlesex County, Hartford County, and the lower Naugatuck Valley.
