Harvest of Hope: Celebrating Community, Resilience & New Beginnings
There’s a special spirit of gratitude and hope growing in Sacramento — especially among members of the city’s Slavic immigrant community. On November 23, 2024, ModifyHealth joined forces with MISI Community Services to host Harvest of Hope, a heartfelt event honoring the resilience and spirit of families who have settled in Sacramento after leaving war-torn regions to build fresh starts in the United States.
“We’re humbled to celebrate the resilience and fortitude of Sacramento’s Slavic immigrant community. Harvest of Hope embodies the strength of community and our mission to support families on their journey to health, stability, and brighter futures.”
GB Pratt, Founder & CEO, ModifyHealth.
A First Thanksgiving — And a Warm Welcome Home
For many Slavic immigrants attending Harvest of Hope, this will be their first Thanksgiving in America. This milestone holiday carries deep meaning — a symbol of new beginnings, gratitude, and community. Harvest of Hope aims to make that first holiday feel meaningful by providing not just meals, but dignity, support, and a sense of belonging.
Beyond just a meal, the event is a powerful acknowledgement: that their journey — leaving behind instability, embracing uncertainty, and rebuilding from the ground up — does not go unnoticed. It’s a celebration of strength, survival, and the courage to hope again.
Looking Ahead: More Than One Day of Giving
While Harvest of Hope is anchored around Thanksgiving, its spirit resonates throughout the year. It’s a reminder that community health isn’t just about physical nourishment — it’s about connection, compassion, dignity, and hope.
For ModifyHealth, this event is one example of how food-as-medicine intersects with community-building. Through initiatives like Harvest of Hope, we remain committed to improving well-being for underserved populations and helping families thrive beyond just the dinner table.
