“Share-a-Share” program

Consider gifting a CSA Share to a local family in need this season. Community CROPS offers need-based scholarships to help pay for one CSA share, to those with financial need, through our "Share-a-Share" program. One share is $300 for the 20 week season. Scholarships cover up to $250. Scholarship availability is determined by community donations each year. Support the Share-a-Share scholarship program by creating a recurring donation through your bank's on-line bill pay or through Network for Good.
