The Community Choice Pantry at Community Assistance Network provides a one-week supplement of food to include breakfast, lunch dinner and two snacks per day to qualifying families in need throughout Baltimore County, Maryland. Our goal is to supply neighbors in need with wholesome nutrition based on USDA Food Pyramid Guidelines.
We receive donations Monday through Friday from 830am-3pm in the rear of our building. Please email the pantry manager at [email protected] to ensure we are able to receive and distribute the potential donation in a timely manner.
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.
