I have to say that tomatoes are the last crop that's popular around here
(Cincinnati) at the foodbanks. they don't have a long shelf life at the
foodbank and are damaged easily in transport. Produce with a longer
shelf life is what we have found to be the most popular: collards, kale,
squash, root crops, etc. I would definitely look into who will be
dealing with the produce to see what they think would work best.

I live in Michigan and have participated in a community garden for the
needy for the last two year. We have been having problems giving our
vegetables away. Could I please hear from other gardeners around the
country and get some tips on what are the most popular vegetables that
they grow to give away to various programs? Thank you so much in
advance for your help.
