For our Charitable Journey group, supporting our community also means supporting organizations that aim to provide refuge and rehabilitation for furry friends, like the German Shepherd Rescue of New Jersey.  

During the first quarter of 2024, our employees raised $1,577 in donations for the German Shepherd Rescue of New Jersey, a rescue program to help German Shepherd dogs find permanent, healthy and loving homes. The organization also helps to educate adopters and the public on best practices for dog owners and the unique needs of having a German Shepherd dog as a member of your household.

The Charitable Journey program is an employee-run charity that was established in 2015 by a volunteered group of First Harvest employees who have a genuine passion for serving the community. The committee members take the time out of their busy work schedules to facilitate various donation collection efforts among all employees throughout the year. “Our journeys take us to wonderful places and touch the hearts of many people.” is the Charitable Journey program motto. Since its inception, First Harvest and its employees have donated over $49,500 to charities and organizations that are near and dear to their hearts.
