We are located in Pauline, South Carolina. Over the last year of growing need of food resources has become a parent to our church. As of now, we are feeding 50 different families every two weeks. We supply them with things that they can cook meals with and dairy products.
It would depend. We could take anything that doesn’t need refrigeration anytime of the day. We operate every other Saturday. So if it was fresh, it needed to be every other Saturday.
We are a growing church, but still small and staff. If you would please call before you come, we would be happy to meet you and have volunteers to help unload.
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.
