The Well Outreach's food pantry on Main Street in Spring Hill is open 3 days and two evenings per week and serves those in Spring Hill, Thompson's Station, College Grove, and Northern Columbia. The Well also serves approximately 800 students in Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and northern Columbia elementary, middle, and high schools through their weekend JetPack food program administered in conjunction with area organizations. They also host several mobile food pantries throughout the year.
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.
