Share the Bounty
A Hunger Prevention Project
Program runs July through October
A hunger prevention program that allows area gardeners to donate extra home-grown fruits and vegetables to those in need. Gardeners bring their produce to drop-off sites in Shawano County where it is distributed to those who can use it.
It’s a simple program. No income requirements and no paperwork! All varieties of fruits and vegetables are accepted in quantities both large and small. Produce should be reasonably clean. Containers are provided on site. This is a “win-win” situation because gardeners’ produce will not go to waste and recipients get healthy food at no cost.
Following are the drop-off sites for Shawano County:
