VARIOUS LOCAL GROWER-SHIPPERS DONATED PRODUCE, THAT HAS YIELDED A SALINAS-BASED NON-PROFIT MORE THAN 16 THOUSAND DOLLARS. AG AGAINST HUNGER COORDINATES THE “NEW YORK EXPRESS” EVERY YEAR, AND THIS YEAR A TRUCKLOAD OF DONATED LETTUCE, (THAT WAS SOLD AT HUNT’S POINT, IN NEW YORK CITY) RAISED THE MONEY, WHICH WILL BE USED FOR THE AGENCY’S FALL AND WINTER PROGRAMS.
THE LETTUCE WAS DONATED BY THE NUNES COMPANY, GROWERS EXPRESS, OCEAN MIST, RIVER RANCH, TAYLOR FARMS, AND DOLE; WHILE FRESH EXPRESS-CHIQUITA DONATED THE FREIGHT COST, AND D’ARRIGO BROTHERS OF NEW YORK SOLD THE PRODUCT IN NEW YORK.
