Founded by CNN Hero and World Food Prize nomineeĀ Gary Oppenheimer, AmpleHarvest.org is a nationwide non-profit that uses technology to educate and enable the estimated 61 million (up from 42 million in pre-COVID19 world) Americans who grow food in home and community gardens to easily donate their surplus harvest to one of 8,100 registered local food pantries spread across all 50 states.
These food pantries help nourish the one out of six Americans (including a quarter of all kids under six) that rely on these pantries.
