Most wanted produce

Food pantries and soup kitchens need produce that stores and transports well.

Refrigerated space is often limited, so foods that don't require refrigeration are always wanted. Here are some recommendations:

  • Tomatoes (pick while slightly under-ripe)
  • Green beans
  • Winter squash (acorn or butternut)
  • Garlic
  • Hot peppers
  • Cucumbers
  • Zucchini
  • Collard greens
  • Onions
