In many cases, the food being wasted could have gone to the most vulnerable among us through recovery and distribution programs. We've put together this page to help farmers protect their bottom line as much as possible. We will continue to update this page as we become aware of more resources. Here's what we have to offer: **[Submit surplus produce](https://www.fullharvest.com/covid19#Post-surplus-produce) to be sold on our platform** **Read our [Guide to Donating Produce](https://www.fullharvest.com/covid19#Guide-to-Donating)** **View [other Covid19 resources](https://www.fullharvest.com/covid19#resources) for growers** --- ### Do you have surplus produce? ## Let's find it a home!

You do not need to transport the donation yourself. - Connect with the Farm to Family program to see if they can help cover a picking or packing fee ## Benefits for you and your farm #### Get tax credits for your donated produce Institutions that donate food can take advantage of tax incentives, including the general federal tax deduction and enhanced federal tax deduction for food donation. At the state level, CA AB 152 bill allows certain growers to claim a 10-15% state tax credit on the wholesale value of donated fresh fruits and vegetables. #### You are protected as a food donor Organizations that donate food are well-protected by laws designed to provide immunity from liability related to food donations. At the federal level, the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act provides comprehensive protection for those providing or receiving donated food, so long as the food is donated to a nonprofit that distributes food to the needy, the ultimate recipient is not charged for the food, and the donations are made in good faith and meet food safety standards imposed by law. Some states provide even more protection. ![one time donation-2](https://www.fullharvest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/one%20time%20donation-2.png?width=300&height=300&name=one%20time%20donation-2.png) One time donation in California Call (510) 350 9907 [ Email CaFoodBanks.org ](mailto:kathryn@cafoodbanks.org) ![recurring donation-1](https://www.fullharvest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/recurring%20donation-1.png?width=300&height=300&name=recurring%20donation-1.png) Build a program in California Call (510) 350-9916 [ Email CaFoodBanks.org ](mailto:stevelinkhart@cafoodbanks.org) ![usa map-1](https://www.fullharvest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/usa%20map-1.png?width=300&height=300&name=usa%20map-1.png) For farms in more than 1 state Call (312) 641-6602 x5248 [ Email Feeding America ](mailto:ncrone@feedingamerica.org) --- ### More Resources ## Financial Resources - [Apply for a CFAP Direct Payment](https://www.wga.com/blog/applications-cfap-direct-payments-now-open) ## Healthcare Resources - [Center for Disease Control and Prevention](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) - [WHO](http://em.wga.com/CHr00L0SO0iF0RFX1r0kK01?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) - [COVID-19 and Kaiser](https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/northern-california/alerts/p1/2019-novel-coronavirus-feb-2020?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) ## Produce & Food Safety Resources - [USDA](https://www.usda.gov/coronavirus?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) - [FDA](https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-issues/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWTJSbE1ESTNPVGs0WmpFeiIsInQiOiIrNE43OVU1WG9DXC9sVjFRZjhORStWNW50ZXI4c2pWOXZxT2J5R1g0Z1ViYStLQnlaXC8zWE9wRFdJNkFlYTJ5a0xza0JXa2hcL3Arc0Jkc0ZMWVpRcDVUTmZ6eTNNTHhGTGNZdWIyWlBISTdRdFJlZnpwQ2lxK1BsQWxZRUNHaGh5aCJ9&utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) - [FDA Statement on Foreign Inspections – March 10, 2020](https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-update-foreign-inspections?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) - [Western Growers Association](https://www.wga.com/blog/covid-19-impact-food-supply-chain?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) - [United Fresh](https://www.unitedfresh.org/coronavirus-fresh-produce-industry-resources/?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) - [Food Industry Association](https://www.fmi.org/food-safety/coronavirus?utm_campaign=SQL%20Communication%20-%202020&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_E18hzgNVbtI4An2a_yhIqqLOcuBs6voixMf_xN9yun2ouEF2xp-PbC8FEf5JO6_DGdOEs) # Join our mission to solve food waste.
