About Just Harvest
Location:
317 East Carson Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, US
Mission Statement
Just Harvest works to promote a just system of food access by addressing the root causes of hunger - systemic poverty and inequity - through policy advocacy, grassroots organizing, community-based solutions, and connecting people to benefits.
Description
Our Program Areas:
ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE: We advocate for policies at the federal, state, county, and local level that alleviate hunger and poverty in our region. Issues that we work on include: Protecting nutrition programs such as SNAP, fair tax policies, and addressing food deserts.
CONNECTING PEOPLE TO BENEFITS
SNAP Makes a Difference: SNAP is the critical anti-hunger and anti-poverty safety net benefit, helping 1.8 million Pennsylvanians and 47 million nationwide. For 7 years, Just Harvest has provided assistance to help thousands of low-income households apply for benefits.
Case Advocacy: We advocate for the fair treatment of clients as they navigate safety-net bureaucracies. Whether it is a food stamp participant who has been denied benefits unfairly, or a mother on welfare seeking a work exemption because of illness, we are here to help clients get what they need.
Fresh Access: The Fresh Access program fights hunger by improving access to nutritious food at farmers markets across the Pittsburgh area.
Free Tax Prep Coalition: As a lead partner in the United Way of Allegheny County’s Free Tax PrepCoalition - Just Harvest provides free, IRS-certified income tax preparation for low-income tax clients at four Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Sites in Allegheny County.
