Planet Home Lending Partners With the Farmlink Project
National mortgage lender and servicer Planet Home Lending, LLC, has partnered with The Farmlink Project, a nonprofit grassroots movement rescuing millions of pounds of fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste.
The Farmlink Project was started in mid-April by college students and recent graduates who saw a need to connect farmers with surplus crops to food banks in need. Since its start, The Farmlink Project has delivered meals to more than 10 million people.
Planet Home Lending’s $15,000 contribution will fund The Farmlink Response Team: Impact Tour, a five-week, cross-country journey to identify U.S. communities most in need, deliver food, tell stories that inspire donations and raise awareness of this critical problem.
The Farmlink Response Team will stop in more than a dozen cities, delivering another 1.2 million pounds of food to more than 1 million U.S families.
During the Impact Tour, the Farmlink Project will film a six-episode documentary series highlighting everyday community heroes fighting food insecurity, and the episodes will be available via its social media accounts.
