What: People in the community donating their excess produce of fruits and vegetables from their garden to benefit the homeless, low income people, senior citizens, and working poor.

When: Drop off Monday through Saturday, 9am-5pm.

Where: Vallejo People’s Garden, 1055 Azuar Drive, Mare Island, CA 94592

Why: To share what you have with people who are most in need and to reduce food waste.
