Each year, roughly 1 in 10 people in the US experience food insecurity. Yet, 40% of food is wasted. At the same time, 1 in 3 US households grow food at home or in community gardens.
Fresh Food Connect's free mobile app connects home gardeners to local hunger relief organizations, and helps coordinate homegrown produce donations. If you grow extra produce in your at-home garden, you can use this app to find the nearest participating drop-off site, log your extra produce, and bring it to one of our designated locations. Your surplus produce won't go to waste, and folks living in neighborhoods where healthy food can be hard to come by will get to enjoy fresh, locally grown food.
