From Linda Finlay, board member of Friendship Donations Network Inc.: To Greenstar Cooperative Market for collecting money at the registers and food donations at the door for FDN.
FDN depends on this vital community support in its work of reducing hunger in Tompkins County by collecting and redistributing healthy, nutritious food to neighbors in need. Many thanks, Greenstar!

The AmpleHarvest.org Campaign is a nationwide effort to diminish hunger, improve nutrition and help the environment in America by educating, encouraging and enabling millions of backyard gardeners to easily find a local food pantry eager for their excess garden bounty.
