The Abundant

Harvest Season

SEPTEMBER - NOVEMBER 2026

The Abundant Harvest Season is Cornerstones' three-month community-wide campaign to ensure food security in our community through education, food collection, volunteerism, and philanthropy.

Kicking off during Hunger Action Month in September and continuing through Thanksgiving, the campaign mobilizes businesses, nonprofit partners, faith and community organizations, volunteers, and donors to help ensure that thousands of local families have access to nutritious food and essential support.

Get Involved today!

Why It Matters

Despite living in one of the nation's most affluent regions, 36% of local families experience food insecurity every day.

The need for food assistance continues to rise as families face increasing housing, childcare, transportation, and grocery costs.

Together, We Can Nourish Our Community

Food security is a community effort, and everyone has a role to play. During Abundant Harvest Season, individuals, businesses, faith communities, and local organizations come together to provide meals, raise awareness, and create lasting solutions for our neighbors. Choose the way that works best for you—give, gather, sponsor, volunteer, or advocate—and help make this season one of hope and abundance for all.
