Did you know that the Good Samaritan Act provides liability protection for garden food donations? Donating garden food this summer is deja vu all over again for some.

 
 
 

Listen in on K-LOVE radio! Marya Morgan chats with Gary Oppenheimer.

"You try to give away your tomatoes. Neighbors and friends say no to more cucumbers. Your trees drop oranges or cherries to rot. AmpleHarvest.org lists more than 8,000 food pantries in the United States that will gladly take excess fruits and veggies from your raised beds or backyard garden. “Share the wealth of your dirt,” invites Gary Oppenheimer, founder of the national non-profit dedicated to fighting food waste. Even one extra potato is welcome."

 
 

Food banks are continuing to see large numbers of people needing food assistance. If you've planted a garden, think about growing more to feed more. If you can't grow a garden, share AmpleHarvest.org on social media, volunteer, or donate. Every act of kindness counts.
