From farmerfoodshare.org/mission ↗About this program
Farmer Foodshare's first strategy is a simple farmers market-based approach through which volunteers collect food and monetary donations from market shoppers, buy from the farmers at market, and donate the resulting food to a local hunger relief agency.
These Donation Stations can now be found at nearly 40 markets around the state.
This incredibly successful effort has allowed fresh food to flow locally and fostered strong community engagement.
On average over 93,000 lbs. of fresh produce has been donated to those in need from the Donation Stations alone.
