Islamic Center of Irving: Weekly Mobile Food Pantry
Pantry #11105
We are a Mobile (i.e., Drive-Thru) Food Pantry which runs ONLY on Saturdays between 10 AM & 2 PM.
We serve the whole community; high percentages of Asian, Arab, and Latino citizens. We especially appreciate Halal options, as a major percentage of our citizens are from the Muslim Community.
Email [email protected] to let him know you'll be there by Thursday evening the week of. When you arrive on Saturday, we have no storage facilities, please see the lead (either Luqman, or Saeed - generally).
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.
