If you are a home owner in the Bay Area, you probably have a fruit tree, or two, on your property…read more And if you take care of these trees, they bestow you with an abundance of fruit - lemons, oranges, tangerines, mandarins, grapefruit, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, persimmons, figs, pomegranates - more than you can possible eat, make into pies, jams, or pickles, or give away to neighbors, family or friends. Often, no one wants your excess fruit, because they have plenty of their own, thank you! And then you're in a jam, or pickle (both puns intended) because the tree rats (aka squirrels) start attacking your fruit, or it rots on your tree or in your yard. But not in our home! Because we pick ALL our fruit, and donate the excess to TriValley Haven Food Pantry in Livermore! We walk in (they are currently at 150 North L Street), no appointment needed, and drop off the fruit, which gets donated to families in need. They'll even give you a donation receipt, handy for your tax return. You're welcome!

They are always friendly and very grateful when we are dropping off food. Please consider helping them out if you are able. I have volunteered a couple times a very long time ago.

I know that times are tough and they may not have exactly what you want, but many times they will have a decent replacement.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Solano Food Bank via Kaiser Permanente…read more First let me say, WOW! What an operation. Upon driving up you can't help but notice that their building is HUGE! It's as big as a Costco! Tons of trailers were docked getting filled up by the many volunteers. They even had a Amazon trailer at the loading/unloading dock. There were approximately 30+ volunteers. We all gathered at the picnic tables inside the warehouse. Coffee, Tea, and snacks were provided - nice touch. We all worked together to load many boxes of food that were sent on a rolling conveyor belt with volunteers all along it. I was a team of 2 that stacked the boxes on multiple pallets before a forklift driver whisked them away. It was so awesome to be apart of. If you ever have a chance to volunteer please do so.

Central California Food Bank does great work…read more Their website states that they provide food to over 70,000 households on a monthly basis, and have seen a nearly 50% increase at all distributions since the COVID-19 pandemic began. I've donated food a couple of times through Official Yelp Events, collecting via a food drive and taking it down to their distribution center. The staff were very friendly and helpful there. I also donate cash as and when I can, and have received calls to say thanks from them as well as letters with updates about the help they're providing. They are also holding regular drive-up food distributions at the moment -- click through to their website for more info. I think they're a really important local non-profit which is doing great work, especially during this trying time.
