My name is Miriam, and I am the Food Coordinator for United Way of Morgan County. I am here to represent our food pantries. We have an outdoor food pantry at our Brush Libary. I would also like to give some of the produce to our Morgan Community College pantry. We accept everyone and anyone. The Brush Libary is open to everyone. We also have monthly distributions and would like to provide more vegetables and fruits. For those, we have many families and seniors.
We can pick it up, or if you would like to drop it off just please give us a call.
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.
