What We Do

White House web site.


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.

9/11 Still Hurts. You Can Help America Heal.


Gardeners can help feed neighbors in need
"The attacks on America killed thousands. Millions are still hurting - including those impacted by the economic consequences we suffered."
On August 27, the President of the United States, in his weekly address, called on Americans to pay tribute to the lives lost on 9/11 by finding a way to do service within their own community.

More than 40 million gardeners grow vegetables in community and roof top gardens, fruit on their patios and terraces, and herbs in window boxs and kitchen gardens. Some even have backyard vegetable gardens or fruit trees.
