RVFB strives to provide a variety of fresh, locally sourced produce as well as seeds and plant starts to encourage home growing. We gladly accept small and large amounts of produce from home gardens, p-patches or farms.

Please keep the following in mind when donating produce:

  • The less handling before it gets into our client grocery bags, the better!
  • Please try to donate produce in containers that the food bank can keep. Use of our crates can also be arranged, so that produce can be harvested and distributed from the same receptacle.
  • Please, no mushy, molding or close to over-ripe produce.
