The Open Door Church is actively seeking donations of food and food products to be given to the needy and homeless in our community. Any food that you would be willing to donate would be covered under the Good Samaritan Act. The Federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act was signed into effect on October 1, 1996 by President Clinton to encourage donation of food and grocery products to non-profit organizations for distribution to individuals in need. This law protects you from liability, both civil and criminal, as well as provides you with a tax deduction for dontations to a non-profit organization, among other things. We thank you for your consideration in helping us to help others. We pray that God will bless you and reward you in the same manner.

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.
