This solution is tech-based, cost-efficient, and free for gardeners and food pantries. It incurs none of the traditional overhead of buying food, nor the logistics of storing and distributing it as the gardeners grow, harvest and transport the food themselves. The resulting ROI is unmatched by any other program.
AmpleHarvest.org In Indian Country will take this already proven model and adapt it to address the distinct circumstances found in Indian Country. This will include a unique food pantry model, lack of traditional street addresses or zip codes or limited Internet access in some communities, while also respecting National sovereignty.
The planned rollout in September 2022 will be heavily reliant on partnerships with Tribal leaders, online influencers, targeted social media, editorial and paid content in media outlets. It will also enlist the Master Gardener Network and other partners that can help spread awareness.

We are deeply grateful to the many Tribal Elders and Native American food/hunger thought leaders from numerous Nations across America, who are helping to shape AmpleHarvest.org In Indian Country. This program could not be assembled or rolled out without their leadership, guidance and encouragement.
Thank you
