Feel-good vibes
There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of growing your own food. But imagine taking that one-step further by sharing your harvest with Veterans and others in your community who are struggling with food insecurity. It is a win-win: you get to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening while providing fresh, nutritious food to those who need it most.
Helping Fellow Veterans
Donating your surplus garden harvest to a nearby food pantry through AmpleHarvest.org directly supports neighboring Veterans (and others) and their families facing tough times. This ensures that your brothers and sisters in arms have access to healthy food.
Donating garden produce does not cost a thing. It’s about reaching into your backyard instead of your back pocket. This sustainable and accessible form of giving allows everyone to participate in combating hunger and food waste.
Tax perks
Here’s a bonus: donating your garden bounty can score you some tax deductions. Simply visit AmpleHarvest.org and you’re all set. This financial benefit encourages continued generosity and maximizes the positive impact of each donation.
Spread the word
Know of a food pantry in your community? Maybe in your house of worship? Help more food pantries benefit from this free program by sharing the website: Register a Pantry – AmpleHarvest.org with the food pantry manager. This makes it easier for more gardeners to donate their bounty, ensuring even more Veterans and their families get the fresh produce they need.
Big impact, big love
Donating your surplus garden produce is more than just sharing food; it’s about building a community full of care and love. You get to feel good, support your fellow Veterans, and even snag some tax benefits. Remember, every garden donation helps millions more gardeners connect with local food pantries, spreading the love even further. So, next time you’re harvesting, think about how you can make a difference. The solution to hunger is literally in your backyard.
