Your excess crop of apples, zucchini, tomatoes, plums and more do not need to go to waste or into the compost or landfill.

Come and donate edible whole fruits & veggies to Denver Food Rescue to help provide fresh edible produce to children and families in need in Denver and Aurora;
and / or
Drop off shelf-stable/non-perishable items, such as peanut butter, pasta, tuna, beef stew, chili, baked beans, soup, canned fruit or vegetables for Food Bank of the Rockies.

What: Drop off food for donation
