The Farm to Family Program from the California Association of Food Banks (CAFB) helps the state’s farmers donate surplus produce to families in need.

It is a statewide program operated by the California Association of Food Banks. CAFB recruits farmers and arranges to ship their surplus produce directly from the fields to 42 member food banks across the state.
