Mission Ending the waste of locally grown fresh food so millions of hungry Americans can be be nourished.
The Idea While more than 42 million Americans live in food insecure homes, more than 62 million Americans grow fruit, vegetables herbs and nuts in home gardens - 5 billion pounds more than they can use, preserve or give to friends.
It doesn't have to be that way.
The Opportunity Struggling to feed their families, many Americans, both those chronically economically challenged as well as those now impacted by the economic downturn have come to rely on the more than 33,500 food pantries across America to help feed their families.
These food pantries, relying on donated and purchased foods, almost never have fresh produce and instead rely on canned or processed produce shipped from across the country at significant cost, both economic and environmental.
At the same time, millions of home and community gardeners nationwide with an abundant harvest do not know that they can share their harvest, do not know how to share their harvest and do not know where to share their harvest. AmpleHarvest.org solves that for them.
The Vision AmpleHarvest.org envisions an America where millions of gardeners eliminate malnutrition and hunger in their own community.
The Mission AmpleHarvest.org, moving information instead of food to diminish food waste, hunger and malnutrition in America, is educating, encouraging and empowering growers to share their excess harvest with the needy in their community instead of letting it rot in the garden.
The Goal Our "No Food Left Behind" goal is a healthier and by extension, wealthier America
,
AmpleHarvest.org is an award winning nationwide hunger and food waste nonprofit, founded by a CNN Hero, that is looking to grow its Board of Trustees. We are particularly interested in women and minority people outside of the New York region as well as people from Native American communities.
Expertise "buckets" we'd like to fill include PR/Media, Faith (any faith), Gardening expertise, Capacity Building and Hunger (people with food pantry/back experience)
This is different from any other nonprofit you've ever encountered ... take a look at www.AmpleHarvest.org/Closeup and www.AmpleHarvest.org/DefiningTheDifference to see why.
If you are interested in helping to end hunger rather than just feed people, or you want hungry families to benefit from the healthiest food available, you may be interested in us.
Check out a recent talk about our new Indian Country program at www.AmpleHarvest.org/FRAC for a more in-depth look at how we approach and solve problems.
Then lets talk.
