Two Fish and Five Loaves of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Orange
Pantry #11559
We have been in operation for 13 years serving low to moderate income individuals and families in Essex County. Our shelves stock can goods, pastas, milk water juices meats and fresh produce when available. We would love to provide more fresh produce and toiletries.
Our pantry hours 2nd/3rd Saturday of the month from 10:00-12:00. Please call if delivering on any other day.
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.
