Kate Harasta
Distribution Coordinator
Kate has loved nature all her life and has taken a specific interest in environmentalism in the past ten years. She was so excited to hear about the Move Out Project and immediately thought “How did this not exist already?!” Keeping waste out of the landfill and improving community member’s lives is a no brainer. She hopes MOP can expand further and reach even more people.
P.S. Juniper, pictured here with her mother Kate, is a junior coordinator! Thanks June for all of your help!
