Why Your Gift Matters
When you donate, you’re helping Harvest the Hope for millions of Americans—the healthier lives and brighter opportunities that grow when nutritious food is within everyone’s reach.
Right now, 47 million people—including 7 million children—struggle with food insecurity. Your support helps Wholesome Wave test and scale innovative programs, measure impact, share what works best, and transform food systems for the betterment of every American.
How Your Gift Fuels Change
National Produce Prescription Program
With almost two decades of leadership in the “Food as Medicine” movement, we unite a coalition of nearly 100 PRx organizations that deliver affordable produce to over 2 million people each year, working together to embed produce prescriptions into healthcare practice.
Food4Moms
Co-designed with the communities we serve, this maternal health initiative provides pregnant moms with prescriptions for fruits and vegetables. In partnership with Yale and Tufts researchers, we’re improving outcomes for moms and newborns and quantifying best practices to shape the next generation of maternal nutrition programs nationwide.
OneKitchen
We know that chefs are change-makers. Through our OneKitchen program, now in pilot phase, nearly 50 chefs across four states are learning how to improve food access and create a healthier future for all Americans in the communities they call home—turning passion into local action.
Join us to Harvest the Hope for a healthier future for all Americans!
