Garden Share
Garden Share encompasses several growing and harvesting programs that bring freshly grown food to Community Food Share.
Community Garden Donations
Home gardeners share their bounties by donating freshly-picked fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Through our longtime collaboration with Earth’s Table, volunteers also grow and harvest produce for Community Food Share.
How to donate food from your garden:
In an effort to limit face-to-face interactions, we’ll be collecting your donations on our new outdoor farm stand. You can drop donations off Mondays-Fridays, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM. If you have a large harvest, and you need assistance unloading it, please pull up to our Dock Door 3 at the back of our building, Mondays-Fridays, 8:00 AM-3:00 PM.
Donations made to Community Food Share are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Gleaning
Local farms call Community Food Share when they have an abundant harvest or it’s time to plant a new crop. But our ability to collect and distribute this incredibly fresh produce is dependent on volunteer availability — help us collect it by volunteering as a gleaner.
If you are interested in helping glean food on our behalf, contact us at (303) 652-3663 or gardenshare@communityfoodshare.org. Opportunities arise at short notice, so you will be added to our “on-call” list.
