We work together to schedule weekly pick-ups at your desired location at a day and time that works best for you.

Sheboygan County Food Bank includes collected donations with regular food order deliveries to partner food pantries. We do this in a timely manner to ensure that the donations are in their most fresh form when they get into our neighbors’ hands who need it most.

We weigh the pounds of produce that your company collects each week and will provide PFP coordinators with a summary at the end of the season.
