We are a food pantry. We serve all income eligible people. As many as 1/4th of our community depends on us for a food box. We LOVE healthy fresh food donations, especially vegetables, fruit, cereal and juice.
1st Wed. morning of the month, 3rd Thurs. morning, the last Monday morning, last Thursday morning and afternoon before the last Friday and the last Friday afternoon.
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.
