The VA Hospital Food Pantry is actually a VA Food HUB which supplies food resources to affiliated Veterans Community Based Clinics (including Idaho Falls, ID, Pocatello, ID, Elko, NV, Saint George, UT, and Roosevelt, UT) and offers clinical case management to Veterans within the Salt Lake City VA Region. We currently serve just over 400 Veterans/family members each month who are seeking healthy fresh food and produce. We hope to start a mobile pantry soon which will help us reach more Veterans, especially in our rural areas.

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.
