In 2016, Word of Truth Anointed Ministries, a 501c3 partner agency of Foodbank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, started the Shepherd's Food Pantry. Our food pantry is located in Farmville and help feed hungry children, families and elderly in need in Pitt County and surrounding counties every Friday from 1:00pm to 6:00pm. Shepherd's Pantry is a client-choice food pantry that allows individuals to select their own food items from a variety of options. We greatly appreciate healthy fresh food and nonfood essentials as well.

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.
