“Veterans have given so much to our nation, and it’s our duty to support them as they transition to civilian life,” said Rafael Fagundo, CEO and founder of Sierra7. “Through this partnership, we’re combining Sierra7’s mission of supporting federal clients and Veterans with AmpleHarvest.org’s goal to eliminate food waste, creating a unique synergy that directly impacts the lives of Veterans.”

By joining forces, Sierra7 and AmpleHarvest.org will launch initiatives designed to connect veteran service organizations with local food pantries, offering a sustainable source of fresh produce to Veterans who need it most. With the support of Sierra7’s extensive government expertise, this partnership will also create opportunities for advocacy and increased awareness around food insecurity issues faced by Veterans.
