Our Mission
Since 1998, The FruitGuys has been on a mission to support sustainable agriculture and combat hunger. Buying your fruit from The FruitGuys helps our family-owned and operated B Corp business sustain the small independent farmers we support and source from and the hunger-relief non-profits we donate to through our GoodWorks programs.
We support this mission by donating a minimum value of 20% annual profits to fight hunger and support sustainable farming practices.
The FruitGuys GoodWorks Programs include:
- The FruitGuys Community Fund, which provides grants for sustainability projects to small farms.
- The FruitGuys Weekly Donations, which fights hunger through weekly donations to our community partners.
- Donate-a-Crate, which gives FruitGuys clients the option to forward fruit boxes to people in need through our network of community partners.
The FruitGuys Community Fund
Supporting Small Farms
The FruitGuys Community Fund (TFGCF)provides grants to small farms for sustainability projects that have large impacts on the environment, local food systems, and farm diversity. The FruitGuys covers all administrative and staffing costs in addition to contributing to the annual budget.

The FruitGuys Weekly Donations
Fighting Hunger
We donate all visually imperfect and excess fresh fruit to local food banks and charities in the communities we serve. Your business with us helps support our weekly fresh fruit donations to hunger-relief organizations across the country. Since our business began in 1998, we’ve donated more than 18 million servings of food to community partners across the country.
