COVID-19 Changes
Effective Monday March 16, all harvests are canceled through April 7 in support of the extraordinary request by Bay Area counties for residents to "shelter in place" at home to reduce the spread of coronavirus / COVID-19. Under the public health order Village Harvest is eligible to continue operating, and depending on food supply at pantries and food banks we may resume limited orchard, but not home, harvests after April 7.
Stay healthy, keep others safe, and let's all find ways to make lemonade in this challenging time.

Community Fruit Drop Off Locations
Update 3/20/2020:
During the current COVID-19 crisis many or most food agencies are NOT accepting homeowner drop offs. Please do not pick your own tree for donation at this time; keep citrus fruit on the tree, where most varieties will hold well for several months.
If you have excess fruit and are physically able to harvest it, the following agencies have accepted and distribute fruit and produce donations to the hungry in their communities. Click on any red marker on this map to see details on each location displayed, which are also listed below the map. Please call the organization first for current information and hours. (Please contact Village Harvest with updates or corrections.)
For most food pantries, it's better to drop off fresh fruit early in the week, Monday or Tuesday, so they can distribute your fruit the same week. Daily meal services may be better for end of week drop offs.
