Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana collaborates with 200 partners in Blackford, Delaware, Grant, Henry, Jay, Madison, Randolph, and Wabash Counties. The mission of the organization is to provide help for today by feeding the hungry and hope for tomorrow by addressing the causes of food insecurity while empowering people toward self-sufficiency.
When you enter the property, please proceed down the drive on the right side of the building and all the way around the back of the building, past the office entrance and around to the receiving doors.
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.
