Donate-a-Crate Program
Generous FruitGuys clients and individuals can forward deliveries when their offices are closed or minimally staffed over the holidays (or at any time of year) or purchase fresh fruit or snacks to send to people in need through our network of local hunger relief partners or to one of their choosing.

Generous donors have fed people in need.

Donate to The FruitGuys Community Fund
Small Farms, Big Impacts
Each spring, The FruitGuys Community Fund provides annual grant awards to small, independent American farms and agricultural nonprofits that support sustainable agriculture projects with large positive impacts on the environment, local food webs, and farm diversity. We believe small farms are critical stewards of the land
and key to an equitable food system.
Make a tax-deductible donation to help fund a sustainability project for a small farm. As little as $5,000 fully funds a farm grant. This is great team fundraising opportunity for the giving season. Become a farm fundraising ambassador for The FruitGuys Community Fund. Personalize and share a copy of our campaign with your farm-loving friends.
