What it says it does

Growing community not just plants, BPR-CPR is an urban agriculture and recycling educator. Benson Plant Rescue recycles damaged, overstock, and end of season nursery goods from area retailers as well as surplus plants from gardeners thinning or changing their gardens. Community Produce Rescue sorts and recycles less-than-desirable fruits and vegetables from area grocers. Freshly-sorted produce is delivered to various low-income groups, homeless shelters, food pantries, and non-profit group homes in the Omaha area. Produce that is too ripe is used for compost for the Benson Plant Rescue.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
