What if every Pittsburgh yard grew food?
We'd produce more than our city could need. We're building that network now — one garden, one block, one neighborhood at a time. Join us.
Location Key
Already growing? Drop it off yourself.
Tap any pin on the map to get directions to a nearby drop-off location. No GardenSoon service required — just show up with your surplus.
Or schedule a pickup insteadYour backyard is a weapon against hunger.
The average Pittsburgh vegetable garden produces more food than one family can eat. That surplus — the extra tomatoes, the zucchini you can't keep up with — is sitting on the vine while a neighbor goes without.
GardenSoon exists to close that gap. We help people grow more food than they need, then route the abundance to Pittsburgh families who can use it.
If we're already coming to your house for a service visit, you don't even have to leave the porch. Just leave a labeled bag and we'll take care of the rest.

Season One Goal
500 lbs
of fresh produce donated to Pittsburgh neighbors.
We're just getting started. Every garden in our network counts toward this goal.
Already have a garden? You don't need to be a GardenSoon customer to be part of this. If you're already growing and have surplus to share, use the map at the top of this page to find the nearest drop-off location — or contact us and we'll coordinate from there. Your garden counts.

Where Your Donations Go in Pittsburgh
If you'd like one of our technicians to pick up your donation, they will take it directly to the trusted Pittsburgh-area partners—including local pantries and seasonal shelters—highlighted on our map. This ensures every item you give is handled by organizations we know and trust.
