(Farm Direct Community Fund)

The FDCF is a 501(c)(3) organization which is, among other things, responsible for distributing financial assistance to Farm Direct Connect members. Funds donated to FDCF  by Farm Direct Connect members will go to FDC aid applicants first, and then on to our broader communities to help combat food insecurity. 

Mission: The FDCF’s mission is to help alleviate food insecurity and hunger for individuals and families in and around Salem, Marblehead, and Melrose, MA — with a longer-term goal of becoming a leading community organization facilitating wider access to fresh, local, organic food on the North Shore.

Donations are tax-deductible. Our EIN number is 39-4724005.
