A Season for Giving Thanks

Join us in celebrating twice this month.

November is Gratitude Month, a time to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for in our lives. It is a time to pause and appreciate the good things that we often take for granted. This month-long observance encourages individuals to practice gratitude daily, recognizing the many blessings in their lives. So, what are you thankful for? Take a moment to think about the people, experiences, and moments that bring you joy and gratitude. Let us all embrace this season with open hearts and a spirit of appreciation.

November is also Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples in the United States. It’s a great time to educate yourself on Native American culture, traditions, and the importance of food sovereignty. For Native Americans, food sovereignty is not just about access to healthy food, but also about preserving cultural traditions, protecting the environment, and promoting economic development in their communities. Read more about how AmpleHarvest.org in Indian Country addresses these issues.

 
 

Centerpieces for Food Pantries

Instead of a floral arrangement in the center of your special dinner, use a whole fruit or vegetable edible arrangement. Then share the leftover produce with a local food pantry. Your food can bless two tables. We’ve arranged plenty of ideas on Pinterest! If you create one, we’d love to see a photo!

 
 
 

Save the Date: December 8, 2023 

Join us for a virtual panel discussion on how to repair a broken food system, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provide nutrient dense produce to those in need, and strengthen the bond between neighbors and their communities. Panelists will share their insights and strategies for scaling up food recovery efforts and making a significant impact in the fight against hunger and food waste. 

 
 

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.
