Explore any church coalitions in your town, as often they will be set up to receive donations of produce for distribution.

Over the years I've passed on plants and crops to friends and family...it's only natural to want to see the stuff used rather than go to waste. ;D

My experience is that most gardeners are naturally generous.

However, it's good to know about useful ways of getting rid of excess produce so we can pass the information on. I've known many people who always make too big of a garden. When they come by with the 400th zucchini they want to give you, it's good to be able to point them in a direction that could really use the stuff.
