Food Pantry Donations

Cultivating and delivering fresh produce to area food pantries and other institutions.
​

Vegetable Donations

The RVACG has established the Community Food Pantry Garden to increase accessibility to fresh produce. The Garden cultivates, harvests, and distributes produce within the River Valley School District to our area's food pantries, schools and and other local  institutions.

Gardeners are encouraged to donate any excess produce from their gardens to area food pantries, instead of composting or trashing crop remnants.   Gardeners are encouraged to put excess produce in the kiosk on Westmor St for passerbys to take.

In 2021, the RVACG donated over 1300 lbs of produce including various varieties of potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and zucchini.  An unknown amount of veggies was also delivered to The Meadows Assisted Living and Memory Care in Spring Green.

In 2020, the RVACG donated 740 lbs of produce including various varieties of potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and zucchini.  Produce was also delivered to several shut-ins in Spring Green.
