The Kent Food Bank serves an average of 50 households per month; many of which are senior citizens. The food bank offers frozen meats, shelf stable/ non-perishable food items, drinks, eggs (when available), fresh vegetables (when available). We offer toiletries, paper towels, toilet paper, dish and hand soap, and laundry soap when able.
Entrance to the Food Bank is the only door at the back of the Kent Community House building
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.
