We envision a time when neighbors living in our 15-village region no longer suffer from hunger. A time when the causes of hunger have been confronted. A time when enough of us have come together to uplift all of us. Our daily mission is to bring together all stakeholders involved: Our neighbors in need, volunteers, civic leaders, and donors. Together, we have begun to alleviate hunger in our region. Hunger that is often caused by life’s circumstances and occasions of food insecurity.
And hunger that exists due to unfair social conditions and resulting food injustice.
Please call or email before you come. The Pantry is only staffed during distribution and when special arrangements have been made.
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.
