Learn how to fight food waste & food insecurity right in your own backyard! Garry Oppenheimer created AmpleHarvest.org to help gardeners donate fresh produce to local food pantries. Food pantries get just-in-time fresh produce to hungry families in a day or two -instead one to two weeks- and gardeners get to avoid the dilemma of what to do with excess harvest after their family & friends have all been fed. Up until AmpleHarvest.org, many small food pantries couldn’t provide fresh produce because they didn’t have the funds or space to purchase costly refrigeration units. Gary solves two of the most pressing issues in our food system!
