To the Your Company Family:

Families needing food pantry assistance almost never have access to fresh produce. Imagine if you had to raise your children without access to fresh fruit or vegetables.

Your donation to the AmpleHarvest.org Campaign will help your neighborhood food pantries get locally grown, healthy garden produce for years to come.

Your Company supports and believes that we as a company are responsible to the communities in which we live and work. Let us join together and show the same dedication and commitment that we give everyday within our company.

Your Donations at Work
In 2011, AmpleHarvest.org registered food pantries received an estimated 21 million pounds of locally grown garden produce had been donated to local food pantries.
"Within one hour of registering Community Resource Center on the AmpleHarvest.org website I received a call from a local family of four with 10 orange trees."
- Community Resource Center Food Pantry, CA
"I can tell you how much those who utilize the food pantry enjoy the opportunity to take home some fresh produce. The turnips were flying out the door yesterday. Yes, that's right. These are the same turnips (except these are organically grown) that sit unloved in the grocery store produce section. Keep that fresh produce coming. It's good for the whole country because healthier people means less money going to the hospitals."
- Newport Food Pantry, RI
"AmpleHarvest.org has been a huge benefit to our partner agencies and has really helped getting fresh fruits to those in need."
- Feeding America of San Diego, CA
"We have been trying to find a good way to communicate to gardeners which food shelves they can donate to. I think ampleharvest.org is the missing link we have been looking for."

What We Do
The AmpleHarvest.org Campaign is a national effort utilizing the Internet that enables 40+ million Americans who grow food in home gardens to easily donate their excess harvest to registered local food pantries spread across all 50 states.

Why We Do It
One out of six Americans needs food assistance, but can't get fresh produce from the local food pantry, while, millions of American homeowners grow more food in their backyard gardens than they can possibly use.
It Doesn't Have to Be This Way!
AmpleHarvest.org envisions an America where millions of gardeners eliminate malnutrition and hunger in their own community using only their backyard gardens.

Your company can sponsor a food drive without a single box or can of food cluttering your office. AmpleHarvest.org virtual food drives enable millions of growers to give food directly to nearby food pantries. Plus each donor gets a free download of AmpleMusic.org's "Garden of Music" as a special thank you. Download our Virtual Food Drive flyer for more information. Then email info@AmpleHarvest.org or call AMPLE-6-9880 to learn how easy it is to set one up.

Your Company Virtual Food Drive
Fighting Hunger For Good

You can spend $5, $25 or $100 to buy canned fruit/vegetables for a food pantry.

Then you can do it again next year.

Or you can use the same money to make a tax deductible donation to AmpleHarvest.org and enable a pantry to receive garden fresh produce for many years to come!

Which makes more sense to you?
Your Company Virtual Food Drive
Fresh garden produce for America's food pantries.
Excess produce from millions of gardens across America can be donated to a local food pantry.

Your generous donation helps make that happen!
While 50+ million Americans (including 1 out of 4 four children under 6 years old) are hungry or are at risk of being hungry, 41 million gardeners across America grow food in home gardens - often more than they can use, preserve or give to friends. You might be one of them.

It does not have to be that way.
The AmpleHarvest.org Campaign enables these growers to do something they could never do before:
Share their excess harvest with a local food pantry.

It's that simple!

Created by a CNN Hero, the AmpleHarvest.org Campaign has been enabling 5,547 food pantries across all 50 states (click here to see our national map) which nearly never have fresh food available, become "visible" to garders eager to share their garden bounty with those in their community who are hungry.

Your donation to AmpleHarvest.org wont buy a can or box of soon to be consumed food.

Instead it creates the opportunity for a local grower to share their excess garden produce with a neighborhood food pantry - now and for many years to come. This greatly magnifies the impact of your donation.
