A free community service in Sierra Madre, CA that gets your extra homegrown produce to people in need

Hello, my name is Andrew. I’m a Sierra Madre resident, and I’d like to do what I can to give back to the community that has made this such a great place to live.

For that reason, I decided to start Sierra Madre Giving Gardens. It is a free collection service that harvests your extra homegrown fruits and vegetables. That produce will then be delivered to local charities that are equipped to distribute to those in our community who need nutritional foods the most. Those local charities include Sierra Madre Gives Back and Union Station Homeless Services.

If you are interested in donating your homegrown produce, contact me so we can schedule a collection appointment.

If you have any questions about this service, please take a look at the FAQ section below, or feel free to send me an email at smgivinggardens@gmail.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Andrew
