Share Thy Bread is a 501(c)(3) food pantry in Tryon, NC, dedicated to providing free food and essential services to low income and disadvantaged families since May 2014. We believe in making a difference in people's lives and impacting them for eternity. Share Thy Bread offers a well-balanced selection of food, promoting wellness for every individual in our community. Our program supports an average of 11,580 household visits annually, distributing over 248,389 pounds of MANNA food annually to those in need in Polk, Hendersonville, Rutherfordton, Greenville and Spartanburg Counties.
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.
