Harvest House began in 1993 when
cofounders Gary and Linda Tatu sold their home in the
suburbs to buy and refurbish a derelict city church.
Harvest House provides meeting space for non-profit and
community organizations. Up to 2000 people use the building
each month for activities such as support meetings, block
clubs, bible study, scouting and spiritual retreats. The
main building is handicap accessible.
Through the Baby and Children's
Outreach program Harvest House is the largest supplier of
FREE baby items, baby and children's clothing in the
tri-county area. 150+ agencies refer clients to this
program. In 2008, 5,846 children received items from
Harvest House.
In 2003 Harvest House opened a second
location, the Harvest House Ministry Center at 175 Jefferson
Avenue, Buffalo. The building currently is the site of Good
Neighbors Health Care, a free health facility
offering primary medical care, sonograms, mental and
spiritual counseling, eye exams and prescription eyeglasses,
chiropractic care and Dental. The New Hope Education Center
offers classes to adults wishing to further their education
or prepare for a better job. Future plans for the Harvest
House Ministry Center are to expand the current services and
move and enlarge the Baby and Children's Ministry.
