We have partnered with Lotus House Women's Shelter to help serve the Overtown community, which is considered a food desert area. We average 220+ families per distribution. These families are generally working class or out of work and struggling to provide for their loved ones. We LOVE healthy, fresh foods and any other pantry staples. Any donation goes a long way!
Drop off can be done the morning of, anywhere from 8 am-10 am. We are in the Children's Village parking lot.
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.
