What We Do
Willing Hands recovers fresh food from local farms, grocery stores, restaurants, and regional wholesalers, and delivers it year-round, for free, to over 80 social service organizations across the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. Our work is made possible by a strong and wide network of volunteers, donors, and recipient organizations. Together, we serve 30,000 individuals annually with four million servings of food while mitigating more than one million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions from food that would otherwise have gone to waste.

Get Involved
Are you interested in relieving food insecurity and fighting climate change in the Upper Valley? Start by volunteering with us! Once you sign up, we’ll let you know about gardening, gleaning, and other volunteer opportunities throughout the season. You can also donate food from your home garden, wild game, or a local CSA.
