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.
Gardeners Across Connecticut Can Help
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.

Excess produce from your garden can be donated to a local food pantry
The people of Connecticut love to garden. They grow vegetables in their back yards, roof top gardens, fruit on their patios and terraces, and herbs in window box and kitchen gardens. Some even have fruit trees. Nothing is better than freshly picked produce.
Many end up growing more than they can use, preserve or give to friends.
At the same time, millions of people struggling to feed their families can't get fresh produce from the local food pantry.
It doesn't have to be this way.
If you are growing more food than you can use, AmpleHarvest.org can help you find a local food pantry eager to accept it.
