Started in 2005, Liberty Disaster Relief has given away about 7 million pounds of food through the North side of Kansas City, Missouri. We operate shelters that house about 50 at a time, a training eco-farm, and a "Community Storehouse" warehouse with our CitySaver thrift store where we can give away and sell inexpensively all kinds of items - clothing, furniture, housewares, appliances and more. We have free food every day that we harvest from restaurants, grocery stores, farms and food manufacturers. We have a place for folks to bring produce from their gardens and other sealed food donations. We would love to receive any items of food, as well as toiletries, bedding, or even freezers and equipment. We are a registered 501(c)(3) and can give a tax donation letter. If you're in the area, we're right next to Tractor Supply and the DMV.

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.
