What We Do
Willing Hands recovers fresh food from farms, grocery stores, restaurants, and wholesalers, and delivers it year-round, for free, to approximately 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 four million servings while mitigating nearly one million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions from food that would have otherwise 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.
