You can also post it on the bulletin board of your local supermarket and library.<br /><br />Lastly, please email/call/Tweet your friends around the country and let them know about AmpleHarvest.org. <br /><br />AmpleHarvest.org enables people to help their community by reaching into their backyard instead of their back pocket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
