Dear......... I recently became aware of a campaign to diminish hunger in America and hope that you can help. They are *not* asking for money, letter writing or food donations. Instead, they are asking everyone who knows of a food pantry in their neighborhood (nearby house of worship, civic organization, etc.) to inform the pantry management that nearby backyard gardeners are eager to share their excess fresh garden produce – but they need to first know that a pantry exists in their neighborhood – something that is easily done if the pantry is listed at www.AmpleHarvest.org. If the pantry manager does not use the Internet, please print out http://www.ampleharvest.org/downloads/pantry.pdf and give it to them. General information is also available at http://www.ampleharvest.org/downloads/info.pdf. Lastly, you can help by forwarding this email to your friends and asking them to do the same as you have. One out of every six Americans needs food assistance, yet an estimated 100 billion pounds of food, enough to totally eliminate hunger, is thrown away annually in the United States. It does not have to be this way - and we can all help. Thank you.
