We are a community-based food pantry serving the Boyne City area. We serve 60-70 families per week, which represents more than 200 individuals, from children to seniors. We focus on offering healthy options, so we love giving fresh produce, and the people we serve love receiving it! In addition, we can always use tuna fish, peanut butter, salad dressing, and soups. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 organization.
To drop off food, please come to our main entrance (west side of building) on Mondays from 1-2:30 or Tuesdays from 9-5. It helps if you call ahead: 231-497-8677
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.
