​Important Updates: Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Picture
Farmers Against Hunger works year-round to provide free and healthy produce to our community members in need. Due to the pandemic and subsequent rise in unemployment and food insecurity, our work is more important than ever. We understand that the current situation is affecting all of us and more than anything, we hope that you and your families are healthy and safe.

If, however, you are in a position to help, we hope you will consider a gift to support us as we work to feed our neighbors. Contributions to Farmers Against Hunger will be used immediately as emergency relief, for basic supplies and operational expenses as we continue to secure produce donations from our farm and wholesale partners and distribute it to those who need it most. If you can make a gift, it would go a long way to supporting this work.

Thank you, as always, for your partnership and support.
​"Thank you for everyone that helped make this happen. We were fortunate enough to get through and what you provided will go a long way!"
– Emergency Food Distribution Recipient
