So we're reducing climate change.
reducing hunger, reducing malnutrition on a very hyper-local basis.
Today, this small nonprofit with a staff of only four people is operating in 5,800 communities in all 50 states plus Native American reservations.
And we're helping a quarter of all of America's food pantries, 8,300, become visible to and accessible to the gardeners in the community.
