Can you help feed your community?
Hands On Harvests wants you -
even if you've never gardened before.
Hands On Harvests' twin missions are to help people grow fresh produce and to reduce food waste by making it easy to donate surplus harvest.
HOH does this primarily by supporting gardeners of all experience levels wherever they garden, by facilitating donations to food pantries, and by creating places to grow food.
“We [gardeners] have knowledge that can improve our communities exponentially.”
-- horticulturist and author Brie Arthur
Hands On Harvests is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
