If you grow almonds...
An estimated 100 billion pounds of food (including almonds), enough to totally eliminate hunger, is thrown away annually in the United States.
It does not have to be this way - and you can help.
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.

Excess produce from your garden can be donated to a local food pantry
More than 40 million gardeners across America grow fruit, vegetables, herbs and nuts in backyard, terrace, kitchen and community gardens. Some even have orchards or small farms. Many end up growing more than they can use, preserve or give to friends.
At the same time, tens of millions of Americans 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.
