This summer has been the most unique since 2008 with pallets loaded with fresh produce: Broccoli, Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Peaches, Strawberries and Blueberries! Thank you Salem Harvest and other gardeners! You brought many smiles to our shopping families who would not have be able to afford it otherwise.
OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER NON-PROFITS: In order to maximize and avoid any waste, we collaborate with other non-profits who serve the same group of people- individuals and families in need. This partnership allows us to increase our variety to our shopper by sharing our overage with them and them with us. For example, this summer, we received more broccoli than we can use. We offered some of the overage to another non-profit and in exchange, they provided us with their overage of watermelon, potatoes, and cantaloupe. This is a win-win situation for both them and us.
PALLET RACKS: Our new extension quickly filled up with donations and we were in desperate need of pallet racks. Not only did Suburban Garbage Services blessed us by donating the needed racks, they also installed and bolted them down for us. Now our pallets are snugly stacked along our new walls giving us more room for more donations!
