Donate Crops

If you are a Kitsap County Homeowner, Farmer, Gardener, or Grow A Row Captain with produce on your property, you can help relieve hunger. Kitsap Harvest will provide pickers/gleaners to harvest and donate all or any portion of your produce to those in need.

(Fruit tree owners -> see below)

Why donate

You’ll be helping people in need, and you’ll be part of the larger effort to relieve hunger in our area.

You’ll receive a tax-deductible receipt for your donation of produce.

You’ll be free of the mess created by crops lying on the ground, which can be an attractant for pests.

 

How to Donate

Register your crop using our online form. We will contact you and arrange for our volunteers will harvest your produce. Depending on how much you need harvested, crews of 1 to 20 will come to your property and carefully harvest your produce. Additionally, Kitsap Harvest will pick up crops which have already been gleaned.

WHEN REQUESTED, WE WILL SET SOME ASIDE FOR YOU. We would rather have you contact us before your produce is over ripe. This will help us provide the freshest produce possible as we distribute it.

Food donors may be eligible for tax deductions or tax credits and will receive documentation of crop types and amounts to submit with tax returns.

If you wish to donate a crop from your property, click below to fill out the form, or if you have any questions get in touch with us directly by sending us an email at info@kitsapharvest.org. Be sure to check out the FAQ, as your question may already be answered.

Kitsap County Fruit Tree Map Project

Help us create a fruit tree map of the county: the vision is to document the fruit trees in our area in order to better understand our community’s resources and utilize them to reduce hunger, increase local food for local people, and care for the resources we already have available to us.

 

What's Involved

Educational opportunities: Kitsap Harvest will be offering educational classes for the community, giving homeowners the tools they need to grow abundant and beautiful fruit, as well as how to preserve their bounty.

Tree Care Opportunities: Volunteers may be able to assist with pruning and caring for your trees if you are unable to.

Picking Fruit: Fruit trees can produce a lot of fruit, and one of the benefits of having a lot is that you can share a lot. We will send our Glean Team out to your site to help you harvest your fruit and distribute the extras you don’t want to community members in need. It’s a win-win!
