November 1 – December 31, we are participating in a great end-of-year fundraising challenge.  As a small, grass-roots non profit helping to ease hunger, we want to make a big splash at this years event.  We have gleaned and donated over 166,000 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables to those in need and we can do more with your help!

You can help us get more donations when we win incentive challenges!  There are also incentives for donors.

Help us reach the first challenge by donating at least $25 on the opening day, November 1!
