Washington County Harvest of Hope gleans, grows, and gives food to programs that feed hungry people in our communities.

The need is great

Each week, more than 25% of our food goes to waste in the United States. Many individuals go hungry or eat low-nutrition foods that fill their stomachs but don't provide a healthy diet.

In Washington County alone, 16.4% of our population and 21.4% of our children live in poverty. Help feed the hungry in our communities by joining hands with Harvest of Hope!

Volunteer Spotlight – Brice Schilling

Brice Schilling differs from many of our Harvest of Hope volunteers in age, but not in commitment. Brice, a recent graduate and Salutatorian of the

Marietta High School Class of 2025, began volunteering as a truck helper during his junior year.

He had some open time in his school schedule and thought that Harvest of Hope was a meaningful effort worth supporting.

Brice liked the experience of meeting different drivers and travelling around the county seeing the variety of agencies and people that are making a difference in people’s lives.

During the past two years, Brice has spent many hours on the truck assisting drivers and filling in as his schedule allowed.

Now Brice is headed to the University of California at Berkely to study mathematics. He chose that school because of its nationally recognized Math Department and the opportunity to meet people from around the world while studying on a large campus in a setting with amazing weather.

Brice plans to become a research professor or eventually go into law.

We extend our thanks and best wishes to Brice as he heads to California for the next chapter of his life.
