About this Opportunity

Help support a supply chain from farms to families in MA by collecting and donating boxes! This is an independent volunteer opportunity that requires a vehicle.

We rely on banana boxes to store and distribute farm-fresh produce to communities facing food insecurity. You can help by calling up your local grocery or pantry to arrange a pickup of boxes to donate. Anywhere that sells bananas will typically have some stock of leftover boxes.

Then, you can load up your vehicle with boxes and drop them off at our drop-off site in Acton--the front greenhouse at 91 Martin Street--at any time of day. Just be sure to log your donation on our sign-in sheet. We'll keep a running total of your donations and will be in touch to give you merch (stickers, tote bags, shirts) in recognition of your efforts!
