Our food pantry is located in a sheltered entryway to the church offices and is accessible 24/7 throughout the year. A cabinet holds canned and dry goods, such as canned meats, vegetables, and fruits, dry and canned pastas, granola bars, peanut butter and jelly, and other items as available. We stock three small refrigerators with bread, fruits, vegetables, and other items needing refrigeration. Our produce comes from some local gardens but is primarily items that local grocers deem unsellable for various reasons. We would welcome local produce as well as toiletries, toilet paper, and feminine hygiene products.

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.
