Saturday at Earth Fare, 74 Folly Road in West Ashley. Shoppers and the community at large will be encouraged to donate fresh produce and in return will receive entries into a drawing for prizes that have been donated by local businesses. All produce collected during the event will be made available free of charge to the community through James Island Outreach. Established in 2006, Fields to Families’ mission is to help increase nutrition to the area hungry by coordinating the distribution of fresh produce obtained from local gardens and farms. In 2007, the Charleston-area-based nonprofit coordinated the distribution of more than 43,000 pounds of donated fresh produce from area farmers to local food-distribution agencies. Through Earth Fare’s “Friends of Earth Fare” community program, Fields to Families will be the featured organization during February. Stop by to learn more about Fields to Families or visit .
