2021 Donation Drop Off Locations
by Karen Fitzpatrick in Donations
Please note:
We are still updating the Drop Off Locations for the 2021 Season. Please check back to see if your Drop Off location has any changes.
Please remember when donating tomatoes to pick them slightly before they are fully ripe, and if possible place them in card board boxes. Cereal or granola boxes can be taped at the ends, and the center cut out. This helps keep them from bruising during transport.
Thank you for all you do to help provide fresh produce and herbs to families in need.
