Thank you for your interest in donating fresh fruits and veggies! Along with meat, fresh produce is the top requested item by neighbors visiting the food shelf. We source produce year-round but locally grown, delectable varieties bring extra fun to our market.
Do you like to garden? The food shelf has a garden where you can volunteer your time and skill. Learn more about the Community Roots Garden team.
