Hydro for Hunger is an initiative by participating independent hydroponics merchants in support of hunger relief organizations dedicated to reducing world hunger through hydroponics gardening.

Your contribution helps provide people in developing countries with the knowledge and tools to become self-sufficient through simple, small-scale hydroponics food production techniques, providing healthy food for themselves and their families. A portion of the proceeds from Hydro for Hunger products benefits the Hydro for Hunger initiative. Since 2002, Hydro for Hunger has raised almost $70,000 to support the fight against world hunger. The 2007-08 Hydro For Hunger beneficiary is the Institute of Simplified Hydroponics (www.carbon.org). Please contribute today, your gift is vital.
