The TMCLCS pantry includes multiple rows of shelving, commercial freezer and refrigerator, and an available household refrigerator/freezer. We accept canned and boxed food as well as perishable donations. We assist approximately 700 individuals annually with a three day emergency supply of food, once every 30 days.
Clients must register Monday through Wednesday at our main office prior to visiting the pantry. We do not serve walk-in clients at the pantry without a pantry slip.
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.
