Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors and Harvesters Community Food Network

Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors (MAREI) is supporting Harvesters – The Community Food Network, and will sponsor a fund drive from Monday, Nov. 30 through Wednesday, Dec. 23.

Members and friends are encouraged to participate in the drive to help Harvesters’ network feed those in need throughout Kansas City metro area by donating at their local grocery store or going to the Harvester’s web site to donate at http://marei.harvesters.org/


It is hard to believe that in Kansas City and across the country that people are going hungry. But the reality is that there ARE people who are hungry every day in Kansas City. Harvesters and their agencies provide assistance to nearly 60,000 people every week. And half of those are children and the elderly.

A contribution from Nov. 30 – Dec. 23 means much needed help, and hope, will be available to those who need it. And while you can donate items at the local grocery, Harvesters can do a lot more with cash. At the store you can spend $1 and buy maybe up to 3 food items. But $1 donated to Harvester’s combined with the companies they work with can provide five meals. So donating the $1 is much more cost effective than 3 cans of beans.

What’s in it for you? The good feeling of helping out a family in need. And remember, it could be you, your parent, your child or grandchild that needs help tomorrow. And it may be that you help one or more of tenants in your rentals put food on the table so they have the funds to pay for utilities or rent.

Don’t have an extra $1 to donate, then check out their web site to find out how you or your organization can donate time and labor.
