Community-based hunger relief & food access organizations, or Operators, license the Fresh Food Connect technology platform, using our web portal and mobile app for single-point access to coordinate multiple incoming donations of homegrown produce. In addition to accessing an untapped source of locally-grown produce, Operators broaden their reach by connecting to the local gardening community and a network of similar organizations across the country.

Gardeners download the free Fresh Food Connect app, which identifies their closest Operator. Once connected, gardeners can schedule produce donations directly through the app. The app also tracks their donations through the season, so they can see the impact of their donations over time. Donating produce through Fresh Food Connect is a meaningful, engaging, and easy way for gardeners to share their homegrown produce with those in their communities who need it most, rather than allowing it to go to waste.
