What DinnerGarden.org Does
DinnerGarden.org helps people help themselves by providing seeds for growing food, at no cost to the recipient.
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.

Could you imagine if millions of Americans struggling to feed their families could be helped to feed themselves and their neighbors too?
We did.
Since 2009, AmpleHarvest.org and DinnerGarden.org have been collaborating to turn people in need into people helping to feed their neighbors in need.
All it took was two CNN Heroes, Gary Oppenheimer and Holly Hirshberg working together to plant seeds of hope and to provide an opportunity for them to resprout in communities across America.
DinnerGarden.org provides a seed packet for growing food to anyone requesting it. AmpleHarvest.org enables people to share their excess garden bounty with a local food pantry when they harvest more than they can use, preserve or give to friends.
Working together, we're enabling gardeners to turning dirt into dinner for millions of familes across America.
