I am writing to introduce myself, and my organization ~ Feed the People Food Pantry~. As the President/Founder of Feed the People Food Pantry~, a non-profit organization based in PT Barnum Housing Complex, Bridgeport, CT that provides food, clothing and basic life necessities, primarily to the residents of PT Barnum, my volunteers and I have seen a 300 percent increase since July , 2009 in the number of families who need assistance.

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.
