HATCH is a grassroots movement, powered by farmers, volunteers and generous givers. While many farms make donations to local food pantries, their giving ability is often above and beyond storage capacity at local pantries, especially if the farmers are able to recoup some of their costs. At the same time, egg transport and logistics is challenging to coordinate. HATCH allows eggs to go directly from the farm to food banks, lifting the burden of logistics from egg farmers and allowing their supply to reach more people in need.
