Since the inception of the Backyard Bounty Program last year, Foodbank Volunteers have harvested over 12,000 lbs. of produce from private properties in the Santa Barbara area. This produce has been distributed to those in need throughout our community.

Get involved by donating your own produce or enroll in the program to have trained volunteers harvest for you. All fruits and vegetables are acceptable donations and tax-deductible. We can also provide information on proper training and pruning techniques to maintain healthy fruit trees.

As part of your garden this year, we encourage you to 'Plant A Row For The Hungry'. Plant A Row is a nationwide initiative intended to connect home gardeners with extra produce and a means of distribution to those in need.
