About Willinghands

willinghands.org

Willing Hands is a nonprofit food‑recovery organization (serving the Upper Valley) that rescues fresh food to reduce waste, improve health, and provide reliable access to nutritious food for neighbors in need. The organization collects surplus produce and prepared foods from local farms, retailers, and foodservice partners and redistributes them through community meal programs, pantries, and partner agencies. Willing Hands relies on volunteers, donors, and community partnerships to run its recovery, processing, and distribution programs, advancing both environmental sustainability and food security.
