You would never believe how many food pantries signed up with the volunteers own AOL email address.
And we have to keep chasing up.
We're using AI for that.
So there's a lot of work that we have to do on that.
Once a gardener knows that they can donate, they'll never forget.
And they will tend to share that information.
But keeping on making this scale to more and more communities.
We also built a program, an adaptation of ampleharvest.org that's called ampleharvest.org in Indian country.
The United States has over 300 Native American reservations.
Now, what people don't know is that Native Americans do more gardening per capita than any other piece of the American population.
They also have major hunger and nutrition challenges.
So with the help and leadership of indigenous tribal elders and food sovereignty experts, we built ample harvest at Oregon, Indian country, being culturally respectful
adding technology that met the specific needs and challenges of the reservations to help both the Native American reservations themselves and the surrounding rural areas.
Love that.
So it's a continual effort for people.

My biggest challenge isn't the effectiveness of our work.
The biggest challenge is raising money, too, because you need money, as you know, to expand awareness and marketing.
And for many people, it's a hard thing to understand that we don't have food.
We make the connections.
