Community Food Pantry Produce

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

Introduction

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 Str for passerbys to take.

In 2020, the RVACG donated 740 lbs of produce including various varieties of potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and zucchini.

​In 2020, the RVACG also donated and delivered produce to several shut-ins in Spring Green.
