The America's Second Harvest Network believes that every single person can do something to help end hunger in America.
FACT: 31.6% of all client households served by the America's Second Harvest Network have had to choose between paying for food and paying for medicine or medical care.
America is the richest country in the world, lets use our ability to communicate rapidly and the technology we have to maximize our crop production. My focus is using the Food for Everyone Foundation method of gardening, also know as the Mittleider method.
Why? Because I had a big fat brown thumb and I tried it and was literally shocked by the yields, so much so I contacted the President of the Foundation and now do some volunteer work for them. How can we all help? Education and action, please visit www.Foodforeveryone.org Use the Internet, build a lens start a group not only can you help your own Non-Profit you can also help many others at the same time.
