Sign up for Fresh Food Connect to donate your extra garden produce

Get Started

Denver Food Rescue is proud to partner with Denver Urban Gardens and Groundwork Denver to bring you the Fresh Food Connect Web-App that brings healthy fresh produce to food-insecure families, reduces food waste, and provides jobs to low-income youth.

It’s so simple! Gardeners open the FFC web-app to indicate that they have extra vegetables to donate. The FFC web-app will map out a route for youth employees to collect the vegetables using bikes and trailers. The produce is then donated to food insecure neighborhoods.

Do you live in Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver, Longmont or Durango? FFC is now picking up in select zip codes across Colorado. Visit Fresh Food Connect to see if we are currently picking up from home gardeners in your neighborhood! Interested in donating but don’t live in an area we are currently picking up in? Register anyway so we know where to expand to next!

Thank you Denver for all of your support on this innovative, collaborative project!
