The Estacada Area Food Bank serves over 350 local families, children and seniors in rural Clackamas County. We are a shopping style pantry and strive to provide healthy food and other essentials to our community. We accept donations of clean garden produce in addition to shelf stable pantry items, pet food and personal hygiene items. We are not able to accept eggs from backyard chickens at this time.
We accept donations during operating hours only (Tuesday and Wednesday 10-2 and Thursday 1-5)
Please come to the back door and ring the bell for service.
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.
