Have surplus fruit or food you can’t use? Whether it’s a backyard fruit tree, a farm, or a food business with excess product, donors like you play a vital role in helping Veggie Rescue get good food to people who need it.

By becoming a Veggie Rescue food donor, you’re helping put surplus food to good use instead of letting it go to waste. Your donation may be tax deductible as allowed by law, and we’ll provide a tax receipt for your in-kind contribution. Every donation we receive is redistributed through our network of nonprofit partners serving individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.

Veggie Rescue currently rescues and harvests food throughout Santa Barbara County and surrounding communities. If you’re interested in donating whether as an individual or as a farm, restaurant, or food business register below the the option that best fits you.

Donating surplus food also helps commercial food generators meet California SB 1383 edible food recovery requirements.
