Dole Food Company’s traveling Fruit Stand Truck rolled into Dole’s corporate headquarters in Westlake Village on Aug. 1 to deliver a donation of 10,000 Dole Fruit Bowls to FOOD Share, the Ventura County food bank.

This summer, Dole launched the company’s first “Dole Fruit Bowls Across America Road Trip” to give consumers an opportunity to sample new products and to benefit Feeding America food banks throughout the U.S.

The Dole truck left New York City on June 28 and traveled to 12 cities across the U.S.

The truck’s stop at Dole’s corporate headquarters highlights the corporation’s national partnership with Feeding America, the country’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization, and their donation to FOOD Share, Ventura County’s regional food bank.

FOOD Share is a member of the Feeding America nationwide food bank network.

The community was invited to attend the event and try free samples of the new Dole Fruit Bowls at the pop-up traveling fruit stand. The Dole mascot, Bobby Banana, made a special guest appearance.

Dole is a leading producer and marketer of fresh fruit and vegetables, including organic bananas.

FOOD Share collects food year-round, distributing through more than 150 pantry partner agencies throughout Ventura County. FOOD Share provides food to more than 73,500 people each month countywide through its partner agencies and programs.
