What We Do
Willing Hands recovers fresh food from farms, grocery stores, restaurants and wholesalers, and delivers it year-round, for free, to 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, food donors, and recipient organizations. Together, we serve 30,000 individuals annually with 4 million servings while mitigating nearly 1 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions from food that would have otherwise gone to waste.

Get Involved
Do you want to join us in the fight against hunger in the Upper Valley? There are lots of ways to get involved. The best place to start is signing up to volunteer. You’ll be notified of gardening, gleaning, and other volunteer opportunities throughout the season. You can also consider donating food from a home garden, wild game, or a local CSA.
