About US
In 2012, The Legacy Harvest Foundation was born with a focus of rebuilding the lost employment dreams of many Americans. Founded on Christian principles, the Legacy Harvest Foundation's goal is to increase career employment, strengthen local economic development, and empower communities through quality programs.
