Backyard Harvest
Packing and Delivering Food Boxes
Events and Development
Every Tuesday from 10am - 3pm, the Food Security Team and a handful of volunteers organize, pack, and deliver free, fresh food boxes to our Backyard Harvest Recipients. Deliveries take place on Tuesdays. We deliver these free boxes to over 150 households each week throughout the Gunnison Valley, all year long. We need assistance packing these boxes and delivering them all over the valley.
