We encourage people to take their excess citrus and vegetables to soup kitchens, food pantries or the Central California Food Bank. Visit the Central California Food Bank website to find PAR Food pantries and community organizations currently accepting donations.

For people who are unable to pick their own fruit due to infirmity or age, you can contact Fresno Metro Ministry at fresnometmin.org. They have a connection with the Fresno State Food Rescue program as part of their Food to Share program. You can also contact the Fresno State Food Rescue directly.
