Invest An Acre was developed in response to a problem that seemed like a paradox – many people living in farming communities that feed the world also struggle with hunger. IAA is a program of Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization, which provides food to more than 46 million people facing hunger in the United States each year through 200 member food banks and 60,000 food pantries. The Invest An Acre program is designed to engage food producers in the fight against hunger in rural communities across America.
Why? Neighborhood farms as well as rural farmers can donate excess food.
