In partnership with a local food bank, Mid-West Food Bank, we provide food to over 150 families in the Fort Myers, Lehigh and Cape Coral communities experiencing food insecurities. Every 4th Saturday of the month, we distribute, free of charge, food to families from diverse socio- economic, and ethnic backgrounds. We constantly receive request for diapers, wipes, baby food and toiletries with over 20 new families added each month. We are in dire need of fresh produce, meat and dairy and the need for fresh and healthy produce is vital to our pantry for most often, we provide dry pantry food.

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.
