We will begin accepting produce donations again in approximately May!
During harvest season, Solidarity Gardens C-U maintains two drive-up produce drop-off points to collect vegetables for those in need. Your garden surplus will be going to Channing-Murray Foundation's Bucket Brigade, Sola Gratia Farm's Friday Mobile Market, Eastern Illinois Food Bank, Jubilee Cafe, Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, Lierman Gardens, and more!
