The Oakhurst Campus Food Pantry at The University of Southern Maine
Pantry #10631
The Oakhurst Campus Food Pantry provides essential resources (food, household & personal goods) to the USM community to fight food insecurity and meet the basic needs of students, faculty, and staff using a self-assessed need model.
We believe individuals should have the autonomy to determine their current level of need and be empowered with accessible, equitable, and inclusive resources.
Donations welcome during open hours. Please email us before donating at [email protected]
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.
