Funding provided by William G. and Marie Selby Foundation
Harvest House has been awarded a $105,000 grant from the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation to support the purchase of two generators that will power its resilience hubs during emergencies, the nonprofit organization has announced.
“In the aftermath of hurricanes and severe weather events, access to food and essential services can be significantly disrupted,” a news release points out. “These generators will ensure that Harvest House can continue operating its food bank and maintain critical services even during extended power outages,” the release explains.
“During disasters, our community depends on us to remain present, prepared and responsive,” said Dan Minor, president and CEO of Harvest House, in the release. “This investment allows us to continue our work without interruption, keeping food accessible and ensuring our team can serve individuals and families when they need us most,” he added in the release.
“In 2025, Harvest House helped more than 7,000 individuals, parents, and children access critical resources, including food security, mental health care, recovery support, and emergency, supportive, and affordable housing,” the release points out. “These services helped people and families move forward on their journeys toward greater stability, security, and long-term well-being,” it notes.
“Serving individuals and families throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties, Harvest House provides food, resources, housing, and compassionate support to those facing hardship,” the release continues.
“This grant will strengthen the organization’s infrastructure and expand its capacity to respond quickly and effectively during times of crisis,” the release says.
