We are currently seeking long-term partners who are interested in donating surplus food items on a continuous basis. Our food rescue operations accept a wide range of items, including those that are approaching their expiration date—up to one month prior. These donations are then distributed directly to families in need, as well as to fellow nonprofit organizations through our Produce for Purpose program, allowing us to extend our impact across Los Angeles County. How We Make It Easy to Partner:
We accept deliveries Monday–Saturday between 6:30 AM and 2:00 PM at our Downtown LA warehouse. We also offer free pick-up services for donations anywhere within Los Angeles County. All donations are tax-deductible.
Your surplus can make a lasting difference. Together, we can reduce waste, feed families, and support a network of local organizations addressing hunger and poverty every day. If you're interested in partnering or have questions about acceptable items and logistics, we’d love to connect. Please feel free to reach out directly or schedule a quick call to discuss next steps. Thank you for your time and consideration—we look forward to the opportunity to work together. Kind Regards,

ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
