The Rock Port Ministerial Alliance operates a fully donation-based food pantry, dedicated to serving the needs of our community. We rely on both monetary contributions and non-perishable food donations to continue our mission. All donations are gratefully accepted. For a list of our most needed items, please visit our Facebook page: Rock Port Ministerial Alliance & Food Pantry.
Donation drop-offs are accepted Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. All donations are welcome and appreciated! For a list of our most-needed items, please visit our Facebook page: Rock Port Ministerial Alliance & Food Pantry. If you’re unable to drop off donations during regular hours, please call 660-253-3535 to schedule a time that works for you. The food pantry is open on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
Use the second door, which is furthest from the parking lot entrance. All patrons are able to visit our food pantry a single time before they are required to register through Community Services in Tarkio, MO.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
