Pledge to share your 2026 harvest!
We're making it easier than ever to donate your harvest and see your impact! This year, choose your own donation schedule and track the difference you're making in your community.
You're not pledging a specific amount in pounds, just a commitment to share regularly. Whether it's a handful of herbs or a basket of tomatoes, every donation feeds families in your community.

Great question! Fresh Food Connect's free mobile app connects you directly with a local hunger relief organization. You can use the app to schedule your donation and track how much you've donated through the season.
We're a growing network of gardeners supporting local hunger relief with homegrown produce.ย

Choose the schedule that works for your garden and lifestyle:
You can always donate more often than your pledge - this is just your baseline commitment!
Absolutely! We love working with community gardeners. Please invite your fellow gardeners to join us too - they can create their own pledges and Fresh Food Connect accounts, or simply donate through you!
Are you a garden leader? Check out our special resources for setting up group donations!
Each hunger relief organization is unique, but in general they are open to just about anything you might be growing! Tomatoes, greens, and herbs are a great place to start.
You can also check out our article "What to grow for donation" for more suggestions.
Yes! Most local hunger relief organizations welcome homegrown produce of any type - fruits, veggies, even herbs can make a huge difference!
Sometimes a crop doesn't work out. In lieu of your pledge donation, we suggest reaching out to your local hunger relief organization to donate other food items, make a financial donation, or to volunteer with them. Every type of support makes a difference.
We're a little biased, but we think our free mobile app is the easiest way to connect with and donate fresh produce to a local hunger relief organization. (Our gardeners think so too!)
If you're app-averse, or gardening in an area where we're not active yet, we invite you to log your donations with us here .
Life happens, gardens don't always cooperate! Your pledge helps us plan capacity, but we understand if circumstances change. If you can't donate as planned, no problem - just donate when you can. Every contribution counts.
Feel free to reach out to us!
