About us
In 2014 Nita Kurmins Gilson, Alexandra White and Jerilyn White sprouted ProduceGood from the grassroots of CropSwap (lovingly nurtured by Nita since 2009). Today CropSwap is ProduceGood’s Flagship program, contributing 60% of our annual FRESH HEALTHY servings to San Diego County’s charitable food supply. With the addition of Market Share, our farmers market produce recovery program, we are making the upcycling of edible organics a reality in San Diego. Our small team of staff and organizational volunteers, alongside a powerhouse of community volunteers, growers, partners and supporters, make it happen 52 weeks a year. Please join us at one of our events or make a donation to support our mission of solving the problem of hunger and waste in one sweet step in our beloved San Diego community.

Last Friday the incredible Deloitte team came together for an impact day filled with gleaning. They picked over 3,700 pounds for Feeding San Diego, that's over 11,000 servings of fresh Valencia oranges put back into our community. With nearly 2 tons of fresh oranges kept out of the landfill and into the hands of those who need it, we want to thank the Deloitte team's commitment to fighting food waste and hunger. 🍊 Reach out to us for your team's next impact day!
