Become a Partner Agency

Food Forward partners with hunger relief organizations of all sizes, from small community-based programs to large regional or national organizations, to distribute the surplus fruits and vegetables we recover.

Interested in becoming a hunger relief partner?

You are invited to contact us through the form below. In order to receive produce donations from Food Forward, an organization must:

  • Verified Nonprofit: Be a verified nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status.
  • Distribution Capacity: Have the capacity to manage the distribution of recovered produce
  • Program Eligibility: Ensure that recovered produce is distributed free of charge or other barriers, and accessible to everyone you serve.
  • Free and Accessible Distribution: Agree that donations received from Food Forward are for charitable distribution only and may not be sold, exchanged, or used to generate revenue.

Once eligibility is confirmed, we work with each organization to identify which of our programs, Farmers Market Recovery, Backyard Harvest, or Wholesale Recovery, is the best fit for their needs.
