The City of Hope Project located at 2652 Cedar Crest Blvd was created several years ago as the non profit outreach of The City of Hope Church. We are currently working outside on our property and in our building to serve the marginalized Cedar Crest community. We currently work Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 11:00 ending at 2:00 pm. We give away fresh produce as well as the usual food pantry items ie canned goods, boxed foods. We believe the fresh produce will lead to a healthier, and therefore a more stable and strong community. Currently we are purchasing our produce twice a week at our own expense. One of the programs we are developing with some help, is a community garden on our property. We are serving the old, the young, families, singles. We maintain a strong commitment to this underserved community. Along with our new building, that will house the church as well as a community center, we are planning programs for parents, children, youth, GED classes, Bible study, men to men mentoring, NA classes, and a thrift shop. If all this sounds ambitious, we agree it is and it will progress in stages but it is the level of engagement we believe this community needs and deserves. We would welcome any partnerships that align with our Christ centered goals to bring health, hope and happiness to the Cedar Crest community.
Days of operation M & W 11:00 - 2:00

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.
