HOME GARDENERS: Share Your Extra Food With Your Local Food Pantry

Donate your harvest surplus to your local food pantry!

I’m really proud of my first "real" garden this season and I definitely didn’t anticipate all the abundant bounties! Considering I’m one of the only members of my family indulging in the veggies (lol), I was happy to learn about AmpleHarvest.org in partnership with Bonnie Plants. @AmpleHarvest is making it easy to donate and share your harvests with your community. They connect gardeners with local food pantries to help end hunger and food waste.

“Your donation will enable more locally grown fresh food get to COVID-19 impacted hungry families this year.” - AmpleHarvest.org

With everything going on right now, I’m happy to do my part and give back in any way I can. If you like to do the same simply log on to their website and enter your zip code for the pantries in your community. There are over 15 pantries in the Sacramento, CA, and surrounding areas to donate to. I hope you join me to help our neighbors and start growing in your backyard. I’ll be sharing what I’ll be planting for fall soon, and we can grow together!
