Administered by The Morlock Foundation (a non-profit organization serving Erie county) and located in Evangel Assembly of God Church, we are a food pantry that prides itself on a human-centered approach to feeding the hungry. We serve families and individuals of all ages, from all walks of life. Evangel Food Pantry appreciates ANY food donations- canned, shelf-stable, or fresh. We also have the ability to accept frozen foods and we are happy to accept any sanitarily processed game meats. Like many food pantries we also get frequent requests for personal care products like deodorant and soap and can use anything we're blessed enough to receive. We also have a particular need for any kind of cat/dog food and treats.
We can accept drop offs of shelf-stable foods, or fresh foods that don't need to be kept cold on Sunday evenings. No volunteers will be present but you can place donations by the pallets on the left side of the large shed, in the parking lot of Evangel Assembly of God Church.
-We can also accept drop offs on Monday morning (until 11am). Please pull into the parking lot and up to the front doors and a volunteer will be able to assist you. If you are donating on a Monday we will be able to provide a form acknowledging the donation for tax purposes, given that you can determine the fair market value of your donation.

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.
