Welcome to the fall edition of the AmpleHarvest.org newsletter!

As the leaves begin to change and the temperatures start to drop, we are reminded of the bountiful harvest that comes with this season. Fall crops such as apples, pumpkins, and squash are abundant and ready for picking. It is a time when farmers markets and community gardens are bustling with activity, and families can enjoy the joys of picking their own produce.

In this edition, we will be sharing stories and tips on how to make the most of your fall harvest and ways you can support our efforts to connect gardeners with local food pantries.

Don't forget, September is Hunger Action Month. What will you do to take action against hunger this month?

Harvesting Hope and Solving Hunger: a Revolutionary Solution to Food Waste

Chezuba Podcast speaks with Gary Oppenheimer about a revolutionary solution that reframes hunger and food waste as information problems rather than just food problems. Drawing parallels with game-changing companies like Tesla and Uber, Gary discusses how he transformed the landscape of food donation, bridging the gap between gardeners with surplus produce and food pantries desperately in need of fresh ingredients.
