Help Us Put the Power of
Food to Work

When nutritious food is within reach, its impact can extend far beyond the plate, supporting better health, stronger families, and more resilient communities.

Today, 47 million people, including 7 million children, struggle with food insecurity. Your support of Harvest the Hope helps Wholesome Wave develop, test, and scale innovative solutions that make nutritious food more accessible and affordable.

We measure what works, share what we learn, and help transform food and healthcare systems so that more people can experience the health and opportunity that food makes possible.

And throughout September, your impact goes twice as far.

How Your Gift Fuels Change

National Produce Prescription Program

With nearly two decades of leadership in the Food as Medicine movement, Wholesome Wave unites a coalition of over 100 Produce Prescription organizations that collectively deliver affordable produce to more than 2 million people each year.

Together, we’re working to strengthen the field and help embed Produce Prescriptions into healthcare practice nationwide.

Food4Moms

Good nutrition can help create a healthier beginning for both moms and babies.

Co-designed with the communities we serve, Food4Moms provides pregnant moms with prescriptions for fruits and vegetables. Participants have experienced 20% fewer pre-term births than average, and through research with Yale and Tufts, we’re using these results to improve outcomes for moms and newborns and help shape maternal nutrition programs nationwide.

OneKitchen

Chefs know the power of food, and they have the power to create change beyond their kitchens.

Through OneKitchen, more than 200 chefs across five states are turning their voices and influence into local action. This year in Colorado, that advocacy helped secure continued funding for schools to purchase locally grown food for students—putting better food on more school lunch trays

Join us to Harvest the Hope for a healthier future!

Give Back. Then Step Into the Kitchen.

Your Harvest the Hope donation doesn't just help put Wholesome Wave’s mission to work. A qualifying gift also gives you the chance to experience that power firsthand.

Step behind the scenes at Wholesome Wave’s Celebrity Chef Dinner next spring and cook alongside some of the country’s most celebrated chefs as they prepare an unforgettable multi-course dinner.

Past participating chefs have included Jacques Torres, Maneet Chauhan, Rocco DiSpirito, JJ Johnson, Mary Sue Milliken, Christian Petroni, Sean Sherman, and more.

With this unique experience, you’ll be part of the action: prepping, plating, cooking alongside the chefs, and sitting down for a family-style meal with all those involved in the day’s preparation.
