St.Michaels Food Pantry is open to serve all Cherokee County, GA residents on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10:00am to 11:45am. An appointment is not necessary. We provide frozen meats, fresh produce and dairy products, non-perishable foods and bakery items. We also provide personal items such as toothbrushes, tooth paste, bathroom tissue, soap, shampoo, feminine products and baby diapers.
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.
