The CSS Food Market in Lincoln provides families and individuals with the opportunity to shop for food items once per month. Our Food Market is set up in a client-choice model, which allows volunteers to accompany clients as they walk through and select the items that meet their needs. We love receiving healthy, fresh produce, meat, and donations that are halal approved. This institution is an equal opportunity provider. We look forward to partnering with you!
Donations can be made during our open office hours: Monday-Thursdays 9am-12pm and 1-4pm, and Fridays from 9am-12pm. For large donations, please call ahead for assistance.
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.
