The Fountain Hill Community Grocery Partnership is located in an elementary school building in South Bethlehem. We serve a diverse range of families from younger families to Senior citizens. Our families love any and all fresh produce. Oddly, anything except beets. We are still figuring that one out. :) Also we have a few halal/vegetarian families that we would love to provide additional resources to. Lastly, we appreciate anything and everything -- including toiletries. Toothbrushes, Shampoo/Conditioner, and diapers fly right off the shelves.
We are typically open during school hours --- but always happy to arrange times for donation drop offs.
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.
