How Hubs Work

Neighborhood Food Hubs make donating garden produce easy! A volunteer Hub Holder hosts a cooler on their front porch one day a week, which will serve as the drop-off location for produce. The Hub Team transfers produce to Friendship Donations Network for distribution to food pantries, local meal programs, and individuals. The 2013 pilot project will run from July 15 – Oct. 1.

Purpose of Neighborhood Food Hubs
Help home gardeners donate their extra garden bounty.
Connect neighbors and communities to fresh, healthy,
 hyper-local food.
Reduce waste.

How Hubs Help
Improve community access to fresh food.
Raise awareness about the impact of home-grown food.
Rescue lovingly-grown food from an untimely end at the compost heap.
