Works to reduce food waste by connecting gardeners to their local food pantries so that excess garden bounty can be shared with those in need. There are over 40 million Americans growing food in home or community gardens and we’re making it easy for them to find a food pantry in their community that desperately needs fresh food to distribute to hungry families. Garden by garden, home and community gardeners and other growers are fighting hunger and malnutrition in America.
