The Pantry is currently a drive-thru experience. Foods are normally fully distributed no later than 9:45 am on Saturdays. Customers should be in line so they can receive foods by 9:15 am.
Please visit our website to confirm when The Pantry is open. www.thepantrydc.com
We are open Saturdays from 8am – 9:30 am (or until food is gone). We are closed on the fifth Saturday in any given month.
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.
