We are a food bank located in Manatee County supporting more than 95 partner agencies across the county, including food pantries, soup kitchens, and nonprofit organizations that rely on us to meet the needs of children, families, and seniors facing food insecurity. As a registered nonprofit organization, all food donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. We will provide the appropriate donation receipts and documentation for your records. We accept all food donations, healthy fresh food produce, as well as non-perishable foods. Every contribution, large or small, directly and meaningfully impacts the individuals and families who rely on us. Your support can help ensure that nutritious food reaches those who need it most in our community.

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.
