We're blessed with more food pantries in our area, but our garden in Magnolia, Tx, Helping Hands Community Garden, feeds anyone who comes by. Great idea!

Great idea. We do have a local newspaper that sponsors the "Giving Garden" which basically lists food pantry locations and phone numbers where people can donate extra produce. It must be successful, they've been doing it for about seven years now. But this is WAY bigger and better! Thanks!

Even if pantries wont accept the produce, the site allows them to list store bought things they'd like to receive, as well as the day[s]/hours they should be delivered. This affords off season gardeners, as well as non-gardeners the opportunity to provide pantries with those store bought items the pantry is most in need of. Thanks, Gary Oppenheimer AmpleHarvest.org Founder Secret…..

Any means to connect the excess fresh food with the hungry people is excellent. The food pantries in the Phoenix area won't take the loose produce I glean from grocery stores, so I have found homeless shelters and needy families to give to directly. Two of the shelters will receive food 24 hours a day. Also, through Craigslist I have recruited volunteers to pick up the car loads of boxes of fresh food and take them to shelters when I have too much to take in one load, and give the volunteer a big box of food as a reward. Have given away $45,000 worth of food so far. Best Wishes, Secret Freegan Hi, Great idea! Any means to connect the excess fresh food with the hungry people is excellent.
