The Mountain Home Food Basket is a 100% volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping those in need of food assistance. We are wholly supported by our loving and caring community through generous donations of food and funds supplied by local companies, schools, individuals, organizations, churches and grants.
Donations (whether foodstuffs or funds) may be dropped off Mon-Sat between 9 am & 12 noon at the back door of the building. Checks made out to "Mountain Home Food Basket" may be mailed to 1341 Eastside Centre Court, Mountain Home AR 72653. If you prefer to donate online using a credit or debit card, please visit our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/MountainHomeFoodBasket/ and look for the "featured" link near the top of the page.
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.
