Food donors
Donate surplus food with a clear local pathway.
Community Harvest works with growers, distributors, retailers, and event teams that want good food to reach community partners instead of going to waste.
Who this is for
Farms, orchards, wholesalers, grocery operators, event organizers, and food businesses with usable surplus.
What to share
Food type, approximate volume, pickup window, storage requirements, and whether the donation is one-time or recurring.
What happens next
Community Harvest reviews the opportunity, routes it toward the right local partners, and coordinates a practical next step.
Donor expectations
The fastest way to make a food donation successful is to communicate logistics clearly from the start.
Share timing early.Short shelf life and pickup windows are usually the deciding factor.
Describe handling needs.Let the team know whether refrigeration, pallets, crates, or volunteer labor will be needed.
Use the regional model.State hubs help route opportunities to the organizations closest to the donation.
