We can accept food on any day at any time if notified. Gardeners should donate to the pantry location. But if they contact me we might work something out.
We are open on Wednesday's from 1-3pm. We are closed on some holidays and have closed on special circumstances as well. When we are closed we put this information on the local radio station, KTHS and post signs on the pantry door.
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.
