We are an emergency food pantry serving the needs of low income residents of the Elwood, Indiana area. We are a self-pick pantry which allows our clients to choose the foods they enjoy. We are open Monday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. till 12 noon.
Our pantry entrance is in the rear of the building. Clients can register and receive services from the pantry as long as they have registered 15 minutes prior to closure.
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.
