AmpleHarvest.org helps millions of backyard gardeners easily find a local food pantry to donate their extra garden produce to. If you have come to this site because you are in need of food assistance for your family, you may try the Find A Pantry below to look for a local food pantry.
Find a Pantry
If you are unable to find one in your community, WhyHunger‘s find food map and United Way/211 are available for you. Both are excellent organizations that offer a number of services that will be of assistance to you.
You can also visit your states 2-1-1 web site by clicking on your state below.
They have people you can talk to 24 hours a day to find the services you need and it’s completely confidential.
If United Way or WhyHunger helps you find a food pantry (or closet or shelf or bank or cupboard), help it get you locally grown fresh garden produce by printing the flier at www.AmpleHarvest.org/pantry and give it to the pantry manager. Urge them to register their food pantry at www.AmpleHarvest.org as soon as possible. Remind them it is free!
