Harvest Food Pantry, Closet, Free Store, Garden and Apiary

The Owens Harvest Project


Our Commitment

We choose to name our project in accordance with our commitment to
Help
All people
Reap the
Value and
Experience of
Serving and working
Together.
Learning doesn’t happen to us. We harvest knowledge from each new experience.

The “Harvest” project was established in 2011 with the opening of the community garden.

Students were in need of on-campus service opportunities and thus, the garden was created.

The Food Pantry followed in 2012, followed closely by the Career Closet.

The apiary was added in 2019 and the campus FREE Store was opened in October of 2021.

Each of these programs offers specific resources, support and connection to Owens students and the broader community.

We build community at Owens by identifying the needs of our students and then working together toward solutions.  By doing this on campus, it is our hope to build engaged citizens who upon graduating from Owens will continue to take action in their local communities.
