Kitchens processing food for hundreds every day usually have limited storage space. Plant extras that withstand handling as it moves from your garden to the food kitchen to those in your community who are in need. This includes broccoli, cabbage, carrots, peas, green beans, tomatoes, sweet peppers, egg plants, summer squash including zucchini, winter squash, onions, and beets. Clean the produce thoroughly before you bring it in. When mounds of vegetables are stacked up, even a little loose dirt spreads widely.
Fruit trees provide a wealth of good eating.
Apples, pears, citrus, and firm peaches, nectarines, and plums are good bets. If you can't gather the fruit yourself, rather than let it drop or rot on the tree, call a food bank for help. Often they will send volunteers to strip the tree for you. If that isn't possible, ask young people in your neighborhood to climb the ladder and assist in the harvest. Everyone likes to help.
