- Plant!
In Summer:

In Fall:
- Harvest all your fresh produce
- Reach out to getinvolved@iocp.org or complete the large donation form ( iocp.org/large-donations)to let IOCP know what and how much you will be bringing to donate
- Pack it up in boxes or bags
- Drop it off at the IOCP Donation Door during regular hours (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friadys 10am - 5pm) - make sure to let staff know you are dropping off fresh produce so we can refrigerate it if needed
