Food Donations: The number of people needing our service has increased explosively since Farm Share's inception in 1991. As a result, we need to broaden our donation base to ensure an ample food supply to meet demands. We need not only fresh fruits and vegetables, but canned, packaged, frozen goods and meats as well.

SPONSOR-A-LOAD: Help Farm Share bring 42,000 pounds of nutritious produce to over 4,000 families in your community. Farm Share sends tractor trailer loads of fresh produce to hungry people throughout Florida and the eastern seaboard. Corporations, organizations and other sponsors underwrite trucking fees for the transportation of fresh and nutritious produce to charitable organizations serving America's needy. Sponsorship provides you with truck-side advertising along the highway, media recognition on distribution day and the satisfaction that over 10,000 hungry people in your community will benefit from your kindness. Trucking fees usually range between $1,500 - $3,000. If interested in sponsoring a truckload of fresh and nutritious produce for distribution in your community, please contact us at 1-888-749-3276.
