Every dollar goes directly to seeds, farming, materials, supplies, and community needs.
We are an ongoing, community-led
mutual aid volunteer organization
connecting Astoria neighbors
through food swaps, heritage harvest gleaning,
and no-barrier resource sharing.
We believe in neighbor-to-neighbor support, dignity,
and ensuring everyone can celebrate and thrive together.
join us for Our Community Food Swap and Pantry Stock Events — proving that when everyone contributes what they can, there's enough for everyone.
Astoria Harvest Community Network launched in August 2025 when SNAP benefit cuts threatened
to eliminate 828,000 meals annually across Clatsop County, Oregon.
Clatsop County — with the highest per capita homeless population in the state — was hit especially hard.
But the vision behind this work has been building for over two decades.
We've been developing collective models — share economies, mutual aid networks, cooperative skill-building,
land-based community resilience — since long before Astoria Harvest had a name.
There has never been a time when all of the pieces have fallen into place like this.
There has never been a time when these "third places" —
alcohol-free community spaces for gathering, learning,
and mutual support — have been more needed.
We're the grout between the tiles. The agencies, the nonprofits,
the government programs — those are the tiles. But people fall through the gaps.
We fill needs. We bridge gaps. We build community.
Every skill you don't have is a product someone can sell you.
We're teaching people to need less, share more, and rely on each other.
