Amber Waves, a nonprofit farm and market in Amagansett, has a current fund-raising campaign for which it is seeking donations to provide 200 local families with $100 gift cards.

The Springs Food Pantry, which feeds about 350 families each week, is the farm's beneficiary.

The initial goal of 100 gift cards has already been met, so Amber Waves increased it. Each $50 donation was matched dollar for dollar by Amber Waves for the first $5,000, and an anonymous donor has stepped in to match another $5,000. Donations of other amounts are also welcomed.

More information, as well as a donation link, is online at amberwavesfarm.org.
