Questions about Pledging?

    How can I track my pledge?

    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.

    ย  ๐Ÿฅ•2 - Schedule and track your donations of homegrown produce right through the app, all while simplifying the process for your hunger relief organization

  • Emoji icon 1f96c.svg
    How do I choose my donation frequency?

    Choose the schedule that works for your garden and lifestyle:

    • Weekly: Great for fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and cucumbers
    • Biweekly: Perfect for most home gardens with steady harvests
    • Monthly: Ideal if you have a smaller garden or less frequent harvests

    You can always donate more often than your pledge - this is just your baseline commitment!

  • Emoji icon 1f96c.svg
    Can I participate if I grow in a community garden?

    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!

    Are certain types of produce needed most?

    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.

  • Emoji icon 1f96c.svg
    Can I donate tree fruit?

    Yes! Most local hunger relief organizations welcome homegrown produce of any type - fruits, veggies, even herbs can make a huge difference!

  • Emoji icon 1f96c.svg
    What if my garden doesn't grow?

    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.

  • Emoji icon 1f96c.svg
    Do I need to use the Fresh Food Connect app to donate?

    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 .

    What happens if I can't fulfill my pledge?

    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.
