Urban Produce Push is ATH’s vision to ensure that every corner of Kansas City has access to an abundance of healthy, nourishing fruits and vegetables. Through UPP, ATH is taking action to address communities struggling most with food insecurity. In these areas, there is a significant lack of resources such as quality grocery stores, community gardens, and access to fresh produce. With your help, our goal is to bridge these gaps and create a more balanced food landscape by providing support where it’s needed most urgently.

UPP-Ward Bound: The History of 64701

Nestled within the 64701 zip code, Harrisonville, Missouri, tells a story of history, courage, and unity. Founded in 1837 on land donated by Congress for county purposes, Harrisonville is a place where determination has always thrived. The town bears the name of Congressman Albert G. Harrison, whose instrumental role in obtaining the land grant is remembered to this day. 

Harrisonville has seen its share of challenges. A May 2017 report from the Missouri State Auditor revealed areas that needed improvement, citing “complex, often overlapping tax districts, contracts awarded without appropriate bidding processes and overuse of money pulled from restricted funds.” 

Harrisonville’s modern-day challenges include access to fresh and nutritious food. Residents average household income is roughly $52,000, and the population is predominantly white (95%).

As we celebrate the history and courage of Harrisonville, we invite you to join us in creating a future where every resident has access to healthy meals.

Team UPP with 64701: Here's how you can help!

  • Volunteer Your Time: Join us in gleaning farms and fields, rescuing fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste. Your hands-on help can directly nourish families in need.
  • Become a Monthly Donor: Your consistent support ensures that we can sustain our efforts, year-round. Even a small monthly contribution goes a long way in the fight against food insecurity.
  • Rally Your Organization: Encourage your workplace or organization to become ATH sponsors and/or volunteers. Together, we can create a ripple effect of change, impacting entire communities.
  • Grow for Us: If you have a green thumb, consider growing fruits and vegetables for After the Harvest. Your garden can be a source of fresh, nutritious produce for those who need it most.
  • Adopt a Zip Code: Choose a community that speaks to your heart and adopt a zip code. Your support will help us lower food insecurity rates, empower local growers, and provide essential nourishment to residents. To get started, contact:
