The central coast of California offers an abundance of natural resources. In these fertile Salinas and Pajaro Valleys more fruits and vegetables are grown, packed and shipped than in any other region in the world. Yet, in the midst of this abundance there are many who are hungry. Ag Against Hunger was founded to provide hungry people with nutritious, fresh, surplus produce from local fields.

Ag Against Hunger's mission is to alleviate hunger by providing the necessary link between the agricultural community and food assistance organizations. In the 20 years since its inception Ag Against Hunger has provided over 160 million pounds of fresh produce to people in need throughout California and the West Coast.
