I was wondering if Helping

I was wondering if Helping Hands accepts donations of fresh fruits and vegetables from people in the community who garden... I would love to donate some of my surplus harvest if so..

That's a great suggestion.

That's a great suggestion. You might call them and ask. Their phone number is 984-1796.
