Dear friend

Has your garden been busy?

Maybe you have baskets of tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter. Maybe you grew an enormous watermelon, a ridiculous number of peppers, or enough green beans to feed the entire neighborhood.

September is Hunger Action Month, and we’re celebrating the people who are turning their gardens into a source of fresh food for their communities.

Show Us Your Harvest

Take a photo of your garden or your latest harvest and share it on social media. Tag AmpleHarvest.org and use #HarvestForHunger and #HungerActionMonth so we can see what gardeners across the country are growing.

And don't worry if your harvest isn't picture-perfect.

A crooked cucumber counts. So does the tomato that weighs two pounds. So does the basket of produce you picked five minutes before taking the photo.

We're celebrating the biggest, funniest, most unusual and most generous harvests.

What’s your garden growing? We’ll feature:
🍅 Most tomatoes
🥒 Weirdest shaped veggie
🧺 Biggest donation
🌱 Most unexpected vegetable

Don’t wait- Your photo could also inspire another gardener to look at their own backyard and then fresh food is multiplied.

5 Days of Hunger Action

Starting September 25, AmpleHarvest.org counted down 5 Days of Hunger Action leading up to Hunger Action Day on September 29.

Each day we shared one simple action you could take to help fight hunger and food waste.You still can!

5 days. 5 actions. One community.

Day 1: Show us your harvest.
Post a photo of something growing in your garden.

Day 2: Share the surplus.
Give your extra garden produce to a local food pantry.

Day 3: Tell a gardener.
Know someone with a garden? Tell them their surplus can help someone nearby.

Day 4: Thank a pantry.
Food pantries work hard to help their neighbors. Give one a shout-out.

Day 5: Take Hunger Action.
On September 29, make your action count. Donate your harvest, encourage someone else to donate, support AmpleHarvest.org, or find another way to help your neighbors.

With gratitude,
