Donate Your Backyard Bounty to BFR.
Did you grow too much? Can you not make any more zucchini bread? BFR would love to put your excess harvests to good use. Simply deliver your surplus produce to one of our drop stations, and It will join an already-scheduled BFR food distribution.
Two Ways to Give
We are partnering with Fresh Food Connect this year to make this process even easier. Using the Fresh Food Connect app, you can find all of our drop stations throughout Boulder, and log all of your donations in one easy-to-navigate app. A list of Drop stations can also be found below.
If technology does not come naturally to you, and you find apps cumbersome, Please text donation amounts to 970-736-7237. For example, “Donated about 5 pounds of fresh spinach to Glen Willow!!🥬🥬🥬” Pictures are not necessary but much appreciated. 🙂
Drop stations (coolers) are maintained by volunteers in their communities. To optimize freshness and minimize work for these volunteers, please deliver on the preferred days of the week noted below. Communities will have their Drop Stations (coolers) Set up on June 1st.
Please do not deliver produce that is overgrown or overripe, or anything that you wouldn’t eat yourself. For donations of non-produce backyard food products, like eggs, honey, or cottage goods, please email [email protected].
