Pantries
Additional Resources
If you are unable to find one in your community, WhyHunger‘s find food map and United Way/211 are available for you. Both are excellent organizations that offer a number of services that will be of assistance to you. If United Way or WhyHunger helps you find a food pantry (or closet or shelf or bank or cupboard), help it get you locally grown fresh garden produce by printing a flier and give it to the pantry manager. Urge them to register their food pantry at this site as soon as possible. Remind them it is free!
