Harvest of Hope Schedule
 

Harvest of Hope is the ecumenical study, worship and action mission trip program of the Society of St. Andrew. This summer, we are pleased to offer several opportunities to learn about hunger and a common sense solution to the issue. You will not only learn about hunger; you will work do something about it. Together, we will glean fresh fruits and vegetables which will immediately, through the help of local feeding agencies, find their way onto the tables of those who are in need. You will be exposed to a simple healthy lifestyle. We will worship together, many denominations, exploring what God wants us to do concerning our neighbors who are in need.

Harvest of Hope is offering three types of events this summer:

Senior High Events which are open to students who have completed 9th grade.

Junior High Events are available to students who have completed 6th grade.

Intergenerational Events which are open to anyone over the age of 10 years.

For every group bringing youth to a Harvest of Hope Event, we insist on there being one adult chaperone for every five youths in attendance. The housing arrangements are divided - male and female - therefore, if your group consists of male and female youth, you will need male and female chaperones.

Below each event are links: to apply online, read our covenant of conduct (so you see our expectations) and a sample schedule for the event.
