WHAT WE DOFields to Families serves as a link between local farms and community organizations who help feed the hungry. It is a three-step process: When farmers have fruit and vegetables that they can spare, either because they can't harvest them in time or because they simply can't use them, they contact Fields to Families. Volunteers for Fields to Families are mobilized to those farms. When they get there, they spend some time in the dirt picking the unwanted produce. Those fruits and vegetables make their way to Lowcountry organizations that feed the hungry, including food pantries, soup kitchens, Meals on Wheels, shelters and churches. From there, the nutritious bounty is distributed to those in need. |
