Fighting hunger has been part of our mission since we made our first donations of leftover fruit to St. Anthony’s Dining Room in San Francisco soon after starting the business in 1998. Our programs include:
- Donate-a-Crate, powered by FruitGuys clients who forward their deliveries to those in need instead of cancelling their orders
- The FruitGuys Weekly Donations, where we donate all excess and imperfect produce rather than selling it
Donate-a-Crate
Donate! Don’t Cancel Generous FruitGuys clients and individuals can forward deliveries when their offices are closed to a charity of their choosing or choose from our network of regional hunger relief partners. Please contact your Client Care Specialist or Customer Service to forward your order, find a community partner, or purchase fruit to send as donation. No additional shipping charges apply within our standard delivery areas. Contact us for more information. Email: info@fruitguys.com
Since 2009, clients have forwarded 18,884 boxes—almost 1 million servings — to food banks and pantries.
The FruitGuys Weekly Donations
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.
