Thanks so much for publicizing this amazing program. The Garberville Food Pantry volunteers will be assisting patrons in gathering the fresh produce of their choice. Bags will be provided. We are happy to help carry bags and boxes to cars that are safely parked in legal parking spaces. Please observe social distancing while in line. We encourage everyone who could benefit from adding fresh vegetable to their diet to take advantage of this distribution. Friends and family can also pick up for seniors or others unable to come in person.
