Living Your Legacy · How One Idea Turned Garden Waste Into Food for Millions · 25 May 2026 podcast

Secondarily is getting more dots on the map, getting more and more of America's food pantries on and become a part of AmpleHarvest.org.

We partner with Feeding America, all the food banks across the country, and we have a program that's called Faith Fights Food Waste.

Now, we're not a religious organization whatsoever, but because 70% of food pantries are in a house of worship,

And America has, you're an influencer.

America has 300,000 influencers you've never heard of.

The clergy, priests, imams, rabbis, et cetera.

They talk to 88 million Americans every week by working with the faith community to help them share with their own congregations about what their scriptures say about donating food.

That's another way to reach them.

Meanwhile, I can go back to the pastor and say, does your church have a food pantry?

They should be up.

And still be donating the surplus from your garden.

That's a massive boost for your own sense of dignity.

Another piece of ampleharvest.org is that we guide the gardeners to donate just a little bit before the hungry families come in.

So that, A, the food goes from the garden to the food pantry to the hungry family on the same day basis.

So zero refrigeration needed.

That kills a huge cost impediment.
