Relieving Hunger
Every week, The FruitGuys donates excess and imperfect produce to hunger relief partners near our regional hubs. Your business supports those weekly food donations and saves fruit, veggies, and snacks from going to landfills!
The FruitGuys' Weekly Donations
We made our first hunger relief donations soon after starting the business in 1998 by bringing leftover fruit St. Anthony’s Dining Room in San Francisco. Almost 30 years later, we’re still donating to increase access to healthy food for people in need.
Where We Donate
Each week, we donate as much of our excess and visually imperfect food as we can to local hunger relief partners near our regional hubs.
Your purchases help feed communities across the country!
