Our emergency food pantry services households of all family type and demographic makeup in the Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming counties of New York. We serve individuals who need assistance with food insecurity. We provide 1 week worth of grocery items that are comprised of fresh, shelf-stable, and frozen products. We also provide households with hygiene and taxable items such as shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, laundry soap, cleaning supplies and paper products.
Donations can be brought to our site Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:30 am and 12:30 pm. Alternate hours to accommodate donations can be made by calling our operations director 585-343-6284 x. 102
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.
