The Mansfield Food Drive is a RESPOND initiative that engages home fruit & vegetable growers in our community to donate excess produce which is then packaged and provided to families in need.
So, how does it work?
Step 1
We engage with home fruit & vegetable growers in our community who often find themselves with an excess of produce come harvest time.
Step 2
We invite local growers in our community to donate their excess produce; as much or as little as they may have.
Step 3
Our local volunteers will accept the produce from growers and sort it to present to families.
Step 4
Local Families attend to collect produce at no cost to them. Our volunteers are there to provide assistance and answer any questions the families may have.
