Our Partnership with Fresh Food Connect
They are so excited to be partnering with Fresh Food Connect to provide hunger relief for those in their community.
Home gardeners with extra produce from their gardens can help Nourish Phoenix with hunger relief in Phoenix, AZ. You can donate your extra produce by using Fresh Food Connect. Fresh Food Connect is a mobile app that connects home gardeners with local hunger relief organizations to share their surplus produce.
Fresh Food Connect’s mobile app coordinates donations from home and community gardeners to local non-profit organizations working to address food insecurity on a local level. Gardeners download the app and are prompted to indicate if they have a surplus bounty to share. In zip-codes across the country, home gardeners can easily arrange for extra produce to be picked up from their doorstep or delivered to a local organization providing free groceries.
“We are thrilled to partner with organizations across the country that support community members facing food insecurity. We know that gardeners are some of the most generous people around, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to engage them in the critical hunger relief efforts happening in their local communities,” said Kayla Birdsong, CEO of Fresh Food Connect. “If you are a gardener, just download the free app and you will be connected to an inspiring organization in your community.”
