Farm Share Free Food Distribution

Farm Share was established in 1991 as a means to eliminate food waste. The organization partners with local service establishments, churches and community outreach programs to feed the public free of charge, with no income restrictions.

Farm Share events are terrific volunteer opportunities, especially for students looking for community hours. The events are drivethru to accommodate patrons staying in their car.

If you know a Veteran, Servicemember, or any other person who may be in need of fresh food—including you and your family—make a stop at one of the many Farm Share distribution locations across The Liberty Coast this month.
