Veggie Box & BBQ Fundraiser

Veggie Box pickup is Friday, August 28, from 11:30am-1pm in the main parking lot at Rancho Cielo.

The beloved annual fundraiser makes a significant impact by sustaining vocational training for our students while also feeding families in need.

What’s in the boxes amounts to much more than healthy food options. It’s a taste of our home—what has been referred to as the “Salad Bowl of the World.” Every Veggie Box may include everything from strawberries and lettuce to artichokes and Brussels sprouts—each a symbol of the region’s agricultural backbone.

Beginning August 24, teams of volunteers will work in shifts to pack boxes and deliver them throughout Monterey County and beyond. On August 28, we will conclude with a delicious BBQ lunch, prepared on-site by our culinary team and volunteers. Enjoy your meal on our beautiful grounds or take it to go.

All proceeds from veggie boxes and BBQ lunches benefit Rancho Cielo programs.
