We are a food pantry that was founded over 50 years ago by 5 churches in the Gainesville area. The food pantry is operated 100% by volunteers. We currently provide families/individuals with two grocery bags of non-perishable food, as well as bread and dairy items (eggs, cheese, butter), when available. We would love to be able to provide the families/individuals who come to our pantry with fresh food but since we have limited space, we are unable to store fresh food, which is why AmpleHarvest is ideal for us.

We are in Suite D and E. Since we are only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon to 1:30, we would like you to call before you come.
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.
