Ample Harvest's Summary:
One out of six Americans (including a quarter of all kids under six ) does not have access to healthy fresh food at their food pantry. 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 one of 3,924 registered local food pantries spread across all 50 states.
Ample Harvest is able to connect local farmers, vendors, contributors to local food banks/pantries simply by logging onto their website (http://www.ampleharvest.org/) clicking on the "FIND A PANTRY" and typing in your zip code. This will connect you with organizations, contact information hours etc.
Fish Samaritan is now registered on the food pantry site simply by entering "44507" we are the first organization to pop up! It lists hours, our phone number directions etc.
