Come To Me Food Pantry strengthens households in Hamilton County by providing consistent access to food, restoring dignity, and creating a trusted place of care during times of financial strain. Our guests LOVE healthy fresh food from local growers.
Please let us know when you plan to donate garden produce. Since the pantry is open Wednesdays from 1:00-3:00, Monday or Tuesday donations are best for freshness. Refrigeration is available.
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.
