Matthew 25 Ministries is more than just a food pantry and clothes closet. Over 480 individuals rely on us each month for food, clothes, prayer and counseling and it's all provided at no cost. The members of our staff are all volunteers which allows the funds that we receive through donations, grants and fundraisers, to be used to serve our community.
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.
