The proceeds of the Stockton Asparagus Festival are shared by over 100 charities that are represented by the Spear-It Staff volunteers. Each charity receives a "donation" based on a schedule of units, or hours, for the work performed by the volunteers. In 2007 the Asparagus Festival was able to distribute $437,107.53 among the charities involved. In the past 22 years, over $4 million dollars has been contributed back to local charities directly from the Stockton Asparagus Festival.

The Festival is held annually during the last full weekend in April, which will be April 25th, 26th and 27th in 2008.
