If your garden is overflowing or you simply grabbed too much at the farmers market, the North Florida Wildlife Center has a good use for the extras. The center is asking community members to drop off fresh produce donations as it navigates its annual summer slump in contributions.
According to the center, summer is consistently the slowest season for donations, leaving staff stretched when it comes to feeding the wildlife in their care. Fresh fruits and vegetables help fill that gap and keep rehabilitation efforts on track during the warmer months.
Dropping off produce is a simple, low-effort way for local residents to make a direct difference for Florida's native animals. No special preparation is required — just bring what you can spare.
