Golden Harvest expanding its Summer Harvest Program
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)- One in four children in our region faces hunger, especially when school is out. So, Golden Harvest launched the Summer Harvest Program in 2024 and now they have expanded it, feeding more families than before. It helps feed Georgia families with kids ages 17 or under.
