We are a "small but mighty" food pantry located in downtown Saluda. We have an average of 95 to 100 families visit us every Tuesday from 1:00 to 6:00. Our pantry is a small grocery store where all is free! We have fresh produce at the beginning of the day, but always seem to run out before the end. We appreciate ALL donations and make sure ALL is put to good use! Our motto is "friends sharing with friends".
We are always on site every Tuesday beginning at 9:00. Easy access with no stairs. Can also meet for donations most anytime by calling Diane @ 828-674-5738.
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.
