We are an all-volunteer "choice pantry" serving residents of Pike county, PA. We appreciate all donations and are especially grateful for donations of fresh produce from local gardeners and growers during the summer months.
We are able to accept fresh produce donations on Fridays from 10-2 and from 6:30-7:30pm.
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.
