We are a student run food pantry seeking to:
-Provide food to students and families in need.
-Engage students through volunteering.
-Provide resources and materials in partnerships with other non-profits.
-Maintain sustainability through donations and community partnerships.
In doing so we aspire to help the community one neighbor at a time.
Currently we serve about 300 families a month through our twice a month food distributions.
Please call or email ahead to schedule donation drop off. Any non-perishable food or toiletry items accepted. Fresh items are welcome too. Our families love getting fresh produce.
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.
