Change Within Reach Program
Our Change Within Reach program gives consumers the chance to contribute to community organizations in a way that does not break the bank but cumulatively makes a huge impact on the recipient. Every month, a local non-profit organization is selected to be the recipient of all funds donated through the program.
Customers donate by allowing their purchase amount to be rounded up to the next highest dollar. Since the program started in April of 2014, Natural Harvest customers have raised over $113,500 for local non-profit organizations; in 2020 alone over $14,600 was raised. We would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all who participate in this program.
Now Accepting Applications for 2022!
