Ample Harvest's iPhone App Matches Up Gardeners With Their Hungry Neighbors

While Americans throw out 100 billion tons of food waste every year - from items that don't sell on store shelves to leftover food from restaurants, and other sources - about 49 million Americans have empty bellies. Food pantries are a huge help for the hunger problem, but stocking them can sometimes be a challenge. That's where Ample Harvest hopes to help out by putting those 49 million hungry people in closer connection with the roughly 41 million gardeners who grow food in their own back yards.
