Don’t Let Your Veggies Grow Up to be Compost!

Have extra produce from your garden or CSA share? Donate it!

New in 2025, FDN is joining over 65 hunger relief nonprofits around the country to accept donations of homegrown produce through the Fresh Food Connect mobile app. Learn more at www.freshfoodconnect.org.

Contact us if you would like to host a Neighborhood Food Hub this season!
