Donate your extra food for those in need.

What: Central Park United Neighbor’s (CPUN) Sustainability Committee has partnered with the City and County of Denver, the Central Park Master Community Association (MCA), the Central Park Business Association (CPBA) and regional food access nonprofits on this food drive, including Denver Food Rescue, Grow Local Colorado, Uproot Colorado, and Food Bank of the Rockies.

Donate Fresh Produce

You can donate excess produce from your gardens or fruit trees, which will be weighed, sorted, and provided to Denver Food Rescue, who will distribute it to other area nonprofits serving communities in need. We can also collect fruit straight from any trees you volunteer. Uproot and GrowLocal will also help us organize a gleaning team to harvest fruit from trees across the community (as well as the rest of Denver).

Do you have Fruit Trees?

Donate Non-perishable Food

You can also donate shelf-stable/non-perishable items, such as peanut butter, pasta, tuna, beef stew, chili, baked beans, soup, canned fruit or vegetables for delivery to the Food Bank of the Rockies.

You can either drop off your produce at Conservatory Green Plaza on September 28 between 10am-12pm (8303 E. 49th Place, Denver, CO 80238) or you can sign up for a pick up. Just sign up here and leave your food clearly labeled on your front steps and we’ll send someone to get it.
