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.

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.
