Midvale Community Building Community, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable medical clinic and community center based in Salt Lake County, Utah. We provide a wide variety of services primarily (but not exclusively) to families and individuals in the low-income and working Spanish-speaking immigrant communities, including medical care, dental care, mental health services, immigration legal services, parenting and after school classes, and free food distribution through the Utah Food Bank. We currently help feed more than 3,000 individuals every month through our weekly Friday food distribution program. We are more than happy to receive any and all donations that are available; we would especially appreciate any fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, beans and toiletries. Thank you for this amazing program and for your kind offer to help us help people in need!!

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.
