We are a non-profit food pantry that offers food to our neighbors living in or near Spruce Pine,NC in Mitchel County. A volunteer escorts each person through the indoor site to self-select/choose food items. About 24-30 adult individuals, mostly senior citizens, veterans, small young families, come on Wednesday between 10am -3pm. In a covered patio, they can select from a limited offering of produce. Healthy fresh food donation would be very much appreciated.

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.
