Thank you for every donation made on Gator Nation Giving Day! We are proud to have a total of $20,308 in donations across both the farm and gardens, and the pantry. It is your continuous support that allows our programs to produce resources to help Gators Grow! #AllForTheGators

Once grown, interns and volunteers harvest the produce, wash it twice, and prepare it for packaging and distribution. The next step is dropping it off at the pantry. Today, you can support Field & Fork by giving a bit to bit.ly/givingday_fiel… #AllForTheGators

After seeds are planted, our interns weed and take care of the plants to ensure they grow healthy and pest-free. Today, giving to the Farm and Gardens and support students' hands-on experience growing their food. Every dollar counts at bit.ly/givingday_fiel… #AllForTheGators

The produce you find in the Alan and Cathy Hitchcock Field & Fork Pantry often starts as a seed at the Farm and Gardens. Check out the process and Give a Bit to impact students’ experience as interns or through classes and research at bit.ly/givingday_fiel… #AllForTheGators
