15th annual Home Again Luncheon

Harvest House's main fundraiser reaches its 15th edition on the nonprofit's own campus at 17th Street and Beneva Road. The Home Again Luncheon moved there from Michael's On East the previous year so supporters could see the work firsthand. The program is built around clients' accounts of rebuilding their lives and the donors who make that possible. The most recent luncheon added a client testimonial video, a live auction and a paddle raise, and raised more than $350,000. Founded in 1992, Harvest House provides supportive and affordable housing with on-site mental health care, plus addiction recovery and food security programs, in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
