Grace Place is a soup kitchen, clothes closet and a food pantry. We serve a hot meal three days a week, give out free clothing and have a food distribution two days a month. Our community that we serve is on the southside in Monroe, LA. Items that we provide our community are food, clothing, hygiene products, care and compassion. If you can help in any way, please give us a call or stop by!
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.
