Keep track of your pledge with the free Fresh Food Connect mobile app. We'll connect you with a local hunger relief organization accepting homegrown produce, and help you schedule and track your homegrown donations throughout the season.
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.
🍅1 - Download the Fresh Food Connect app to connect with your local hunger relief organization
🥕2 - Schedule and track your donations of homegrown produce right through the app, all while simplifying the process for your hunger relief organization
It depends! Any amount makes a difference in your community. You might donate a bunch of herbs, weighing less than a pound, or a 10-pound bag of tomatoes each week. Either way, your homegrown produce will make an impact.
And remember - you can donate multiple times throughout the season!
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!

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 .
