Lynnwood Food Bank serves a multicultural community with respect to their dietary needs. Increased access to nutritious foods serves our community's fight against diet related illness such as diabetes, hypertension, and more. We accept fresh, frozen, and dry foods along with diapers, formula, pet food, hygiene products and more. Our community is always appreciative.
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.
