Local Produce For Families
Grow to Share provides local produce, nutritional education, and hands-on growing experiences to qualified families in Summit County. This is possible thanks to a partnership between HC3 and Summit County Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
How to Donate
1. Harvest (but don’t wash!)
Early morning and late evening are the best times to harvest. Use small serrated knives or scissors for greens and herbs, and simply pull root veggies from the ground. Shake excess soil and avoid storing wet produce in bags.
2. Bag & Label
Bags, labels, and pencils are offered at each drop-off location, or you can use clean produce or zipper-style plastic bags. Label all donations with the crop, date harvested and garden name/location.
3. Drop Off
Choose from one of the following locations and leave your bagged and labeled donations in the cooler before the scheduled pick-up time.
Breckenridge Community Garden
Bring donations directly to Breck Food Pantry on Mondays or Wednesdays before noon.
Nancy's Garden
Donations will be collected Mondays at 9am. Look for the cooler in the shed.
Dillon Valley Elementary Garden

Medical Office Building

Missed the deadline? Donations can be brought directly to the Frisco Transfer Center greenhouses (1010 Meadow Drive, Frisco) anytime before 2:00 pm on Mondays.
Volunteer
Volunteers will participate in harvesting, share prep, and site beautification every Monday from July 8th through September 30th. Sign up for one or more volunteer slots to help our community garden thrive. Volunteers will be working in the garden so come prepared to get your hands dirty!
