AmpleHarvest.org is an award winning 11 year old program that engages America 62 million home/community gardeners and enables them to donate their surplus harvest to a local food pantry.
At its heart, this is a social engagement program and we're in need of someone with experience and expertise in working with and documenting awareness and behavior.
Take a look at the TEDx talk at www.AmpleHarvest.org/TED to see what we do, and then read www.AmpleHarvest.org/definingthedifference to see what we don't.
If you can help, let's talk.
