A program of The Siskiyou Community Resource Collaborative, Second Helping Open Pantry or SHOP is the only food pantry program with NO barriers of entry in Siskiyou County, currently serving an average of 250-500 individuals and 500-1000 household members per month. Participants are given a grocery bag and allowed to shop for themselves rather than receive a pre-made handout. This seemingly small detail, treats participants with dignity, allows them autonomy and minimizes waste in the process.

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.
