The Salvation Army San Diego Citadel Church Food Pantry
Pantry #7210
The Salvation Army is a church food pantry helping to feed families and individuals in need in our community. One young girl was so happy when we offered her family a watermelon, it showed us they had not had fresh fruit for some time. We have limited refrigeration but will gladly take and share fresh produce, canned and dry goods, toiletries, diapers, wipes.
Donations can be dropped off Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm
Building D is our office
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.
