Serving Delaware for 20+ years

Empowering people.

Creating opportunity.

Harvest Community Development Corporation invests in the housing, education, and neighborhood systems that help Delaware families build lasting prosperity.

Our Approach

A holistic path to opportunity.

For more than two decades, Harvest CDC has addressed some of the most pressing challenges facing Delaware neighborhoods — from housing insecurity to educational access to workforce readiness — through programs that meet people where they are.

We believe every person deserves access to opportunity, resources, and support systems that let them thrive. That belief shows up in every counseling session, classroom, food box, and mentorship we make possible.
