Around and round it goes…

Dear Gary,

I just got a call from Ranya Kelly outside of Denver. She runs the Redistribution Center and has a small pantry which is helpful to many local people who just don’t have enough to eat.

I told her to register with AmpleHarvest.org months ago and she got a call from the local community garden! They will be delivering lots of fresh produce to her as the crop starts to comes in….
AmpleHarvest.org really does work!

For those of you now reaping the crops you planted in the Spring, visit AmpleHarvest.org to find a local soup kitchen or food pantry that will gladly take the excess food you cannot use/give away to friends and family.

And…speaking of Ranya, we are so proud to know her and to be part of her very special work. The lives of thousands of people have been changed because of her never-ending dedication to retrieving new merchandise from manufacturers and retailers and getting it to people who need it. In fact, we are not the only ones who are impressed…Ranya was recently named a finalist by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society for Citizen Service Above Self.

An honor we know is beyond deserved!
