Through the generosity of others, thousands of people living on limited incomes have enjoyed cantaloupe, watermelon, cabbage, potatoes, onions, corn, oranges, tomatoes, apples, and pears. If you have a home garden, consider donating your excess fruits or vegetables to the Food Bank. We will distribute your garden-fresh produce to our network of partner food pantries.Community and school gardens have many positive benefits, including increasing access to healthy, fresh food and creating the opportunity to teach people about nutrition. A community garden can make real and lasting change, especially when it comes to providing hunger relief to families in need.
