We serve 300 households on a monthly basis. We love receiving healthy fresh food. All types of fruits and vegetables are welcome. We provide healthy recipes and work with the University of Illinois Extension and our local hospital to share how to incorporate healthy, fresh foods into their diets.

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.
