In Sep 2018, clergy of all faiths will be invited to do a sermon about food waste as part of their efforts to end hunger. (more at FoodWasteWeekend.org)
We are looking for a few volunteers who are interested in helping reach out to the major faith organizations nationwide - to find the right person within that faith community - who can help forward the information to the priests, ministers, rabbis, imams, etc. nationwide.
The position has you visiting the web sites of the faith organizations (we have a list... you may have one too), finding the contact information (name/email/phone) on their site, so that we can then send the information to them.
The impact of your work will be that as more and more sermons on food waste are given, less food will be wasted and more hungry families will have food on the table.
You can work on your own time and hours, but we'd like to get these emails out ASAP.
Thank you

Mission Statement
For lawyers to read: The purpose of the corporation is to diminish hunger in the United States by (1) providing internet based resources which enables local gardeners and other entities seeking to donate extra produce and food to connect with local food pantries, food banks and food distribution programs in need of fresh produce and food to distribute to the needy and (2) educating the public about the hunger situation in the United States through an array of programs including web based applications. For everyone else to read: AmpleHarvest.org is a nationwide non-profit enabling America's 42+ million home gardeners who often grow more produce than they can use, to easily find a local food pantry eager for the excess. In short, we're focused on helping the staggering amount of excess fresh produce grown across America that typically is wasted to instead get to nearby food pantries. on a sustainable and permanent basis. The core idea is "No Food Left Behind"
Description
AmpleHarvest.org is a national non-profit diminishing hunger, improving nutrition and helping the environment by connecting gardeners with food pantries in their communities eager to receive their excess harvest.
AmpleHarvest.org has already registered nearly 8,000 food pantries across all 50 states. (See www.AmpleHarvest.org/map to see the big picture.) Some estimates list the total number of pantries in America at around 33,5000, so while we've made great strides, there is still alot of work to do.
Our goal is to have food pantries in every town registered nationwide and to educate many more of the over 42 million gardeners so they can learn about their opportunity to share their excess garden produce with their hungry neighbors. To achieve this, we need the help of volunteers in every community across America. Please visit www.AmpleHarvest.org/waystohelp to learn more and take action to diminish hunger while improving the health of those in need of food.
In these challenging times, growers (and others) across America have the opportunity to help their neighbors in need by reaching into their backyards instead of their back pockets.
Thank you for helping to spread the word!
