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. .
