West Central Community Action Shelby County Food Pantry
Pantry #8185
The Shelby County Food Pantry is currently in need of the following items: Boxed meals, pasta, potatoes and rice sides, fruits and vegetables, eggs, dairy, breakfast items, canned meat, peanut butter, pasta sauce and juice. Toiletries such as toilet paper, shampoo, dish soap, etc are also greatly needed. We also accept frozen and refrigerated items! All donations are greatly appreciated :)
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.
