# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Borderlands Produce Rescue at Desert Cross
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 am – Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join us for a meaningful and impactful community event! We’re proud to be a new partner with Borderlands Produce Rescue, a respected Arizona-based non-profit whose mission is to “supplement meals in Arizona communities with fresh nutritious rescued produce while reducing food waste and methane gas from landfills.”


HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

– You’ll have the opportunity to receive up to 70 lbs of fresh, “rescued” produce for a minimum donation of $17.

– “Rescued” produce means fruits and vegetables that are still nutritious and wholesome, but for one reason or another could not be sold or would otherwise be sent to a landfill. Borderlands picks up these items and redistributes them to support community meals and reduce waste.

– Participation is open to all – no income or residency requirements are necessary. Share with your neighbors, friends, and family!

– Volunteers are a key part of making this event happen: tasks include setup, sorting produce, traffic control, loading vehicles, and clean-up. No prior experience is needed. (Contact us if you’re interested in volunteering.)


WHY THIS MATTERS:

– When good food is wasted, it costs us far more than just tossed produce – it wastes water, energy, land, and contributes to harmful greenhouse gases. Borderlands has rescued millions of pounds of produce, helping both people and the planet.

– By participating, you’re helping curb food waste, empowering your community with nutritious food, and embodying the values of care, service, and stewardship.


DETAILS & TIPS:

– Arrive early – this is a first-come event, and donated boxes go fast.

– Please bring appropriate vehicle space/trunk capacity if picking up a full box of produce.

– Cash donation only at the site (per BPR’s standard). Exact change preferred.

– Share what you can — if you know friends or neighbors who could benefit, invite them!


If you’d like to volunteer, please contact our Director of Adult Ministries & Missional Service, Denise McClellan, at dmcclellan@desertcross.org or 480-730-8600.


Let’s come together to feed our neighbors, serve our community, and protect the planet. We hope to see you there!
