CFR supplies food donors with packaging containers. CFR drivers collect food on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Garden produce: CFR also welcomes your extra garden produce of all kinds. Produce must be whole and free of mold or decay and have enough shelf life to remain in good condition for at least 3 days. If possible, please pack your produce in cardboard boxes, crates, or other sturdy containers in order to prevent damage and bruising.
