We distribute groceries once a month to homeless and very low income families and senior citizens. Non food items such as blankets are available during the winter months.
We distribute groceries on the 4th Saturday of each month. I would be greatly appreciated if produce can be delivered to our site on the 4th Friday of each month between the hours of 3pm - 5pm. Our next grocery distribution is on Saturday 8/27/22 at 2pm. We will be packing groceries on Friday 8/26/22 4pm - 6pm
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.
