Not your grandaddy’s food drive.
Make way for a new kind of food drive! It’s online, it’s fun, it’s social, it’s easy, it’s green, it’s national but it’s local, too. Most of all, it’s designed for people to donate the right kind of food – healthy food. Why? Because hunger is a health issue. The 42 Million people struggling with hunger also suffer from high rates of diet related health issues – things like obesity, diabetes, cancer and more.
Why? Simple. Lack of access to healthy food. #GiveHealthy is going to change that. Make a #GiveHealthy food donation this May to a local hunger organization.
In the meantime, get involved! Let’s get people talking about why it’s important to donate healthy food, not just any old food (Sorry Momma!).
Let’s get people struggling with hunger the kind of food they really need!
It’s now possible to donate fresh fruits, fresh vegetables
and other healthy food!
Why healthy food matters.
The numbers tell the story …
High rates of food insecurity and high rates of diet related health issues are no joke. They’re no coincidence, either. You are what you eat. If you are struggling with hunger, you eat what’s available. You eat what’s been donated.
Healthier food donations = healthier kids, healthier people.

How it works.
#GiveHealthy is powered by Amp Your Good’s crowd-feeding technology. Crowd-feeding makes sponsoring your own #GiveHealthy food drive a breeze and makes it super easy to donate the right kind of food.
Donate by purchasing curated healthy food items via a standard e-commerce transaction. After #GiveHealthy is over, your donation gets delivered directly to your favorite hunger organization.
Are you a company, a school, a civic or faith-based organization? A team? You can sponsor your own #GiveHealthy drive to support your local hunger organization. Let us know who you want to support and we’ll take it from there!
