Surplus Fruit and Veg Donation Drive

 

surplus fruit and veg donation drive

Is your fruit tree, garden, or allotment producing more than you can use? Donate your spare produce to CSF and we’ll make sure it reaches those who need it most.

Everything we collect will be distributed back into the community through local food hubs and social food projects, to help it reach people who face barriers to accessing fresh, local fruit and veg. Between August and September we’ll be sending out 250 recipe kits containing all the ingredients for a simple, healthy meal that showcases the best of the season’s fresh produce. Any fruit and veg left over will be batch cooked into products and preserves, which we’ll keep distributing throughout the winter.

We have two upcoming collection weeks:

  • 24th-28th August

  • 14th-18th September

CAMBRIDGE CITY RESIDENTS:

Produce can be dropped off at Unit 17 Barnwell Business Park, Barnwell Drive, CB5 8UZ on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 9am-5:30pm. Please fill in our donation form to let us know you’re coming, or to organise an alternative time to drop off. We may also be able to come and collect from you, please let us know if this is needed.
