The BIG Giveaway are week-long events at selected locations that will be announced as they become available. Be sure to subscribe to receive notification via email of upcoming events!

 

Local churches and food pantries will distribute donated and surplus foods collected from farmers, grocers, farmers markets, food shops and community gardens. 

​

With this additional attention, the local population will find out about local food banks, in addition to receiving healthy and fresh food that might otherwise go wasted.  Our combined efforts with local organizations will expand awareness of their services, increase the efficiency of their programs, and expand the donations. 

 

The BIG Giveaway will launch in Birmingham, Alabama, and then expand to Atlanta, Georgia, New York City, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles.

​

How YOU Can Help:

• We need volunteers to organize these larger than usual events, contact local growers and gardeners who may be first-time donors, to pick up surplus foods in the early mornings and deliver to each participating site on the day of their giveaway, and to staff the events.  Volunteers can help by sharing details on social media and in their local communities.

• We need funds to pay farmers for surplus fresh produce, to purchase containers and consumer packages, transport foods to the events, and pay for fuel, rental vehicles and drivers.
