Over the past 11 years, Crop Drop volunteers have sorted, bagged and distributed hundreds of thousands of pounds of unsold produce to feed families in need.
Each November, volunteers parse more than 80,000 pounds of produce into family-size bags that are then loaded into the backs of agency vehicles to be transported to food pantries, homeless shelters, and church dispensaries across the panhandle.
More than 50 agencies from across Walton, Okaloosa, and Santa Rosa counties collect and distribute bagged produce from Crop Drop that feeds an estimated 6,000 families (24,000 individuals) each and every year.
We sat down with co-founder Dave Saviola to find out more details on this event and how you can get involved.
