Scroll down to the bottom of the Farm Fresh To You donations page for the fire relief campaigns. Farm Fresh To You also welcomes holidays donations to its other food bank partners.

Last year, Farm Fresh To You and the community donated over 10,000 boxes to fire relief efforts in Santa Rosa and Ventura.

"Donate-A-Box started as a way for our customers to give back to food banks when they were going out of town and needed to skip their deliveries," said Thaddeus Barsotti, co-CEO, Farm Fresh To You. "In the last year, we expanded the program to include food donations for those affected by the devastating wildfires. Thanks to our 11 food bank partners who distribute our produce to their clients in need."

Started in August 2014, the Donate-A-Box program has donated over 61,000 produce boxes to its 11 food bank partners and their clients in need. One box provides enough produce for a family of four for five days. Since its inception, Donate-A-Box has provided 1.1 million meals.
