Farm Share said it helps to fight hunger “by working hand-in-hand with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that would otherwise be thrown away due to aesthetic imperfections.”

Both distribution events will be drive-thru style.

Attendees should arrive in a vehicle with a trunk or cargo bed, organizers said.
