Our Founder

Born and raised in Eastern North Carolina, John Parker is no stranger to the realities of Rural America. It’s his belief that there’s more beauty in part of those struggles, as our rural communities band together and lend a helping hand. At Great Harvest, we’re more than just a food bank, we’re family.

“We got all this started by just trying to help out however we can, and that’s what we’ll continue to do”
