Feeding the Hungry

God’s Pantry provides food assistance to over 1,400 families in Fayette County

every month. Each family receives a 7+ day supply of nutritious non-perishable

food. We wish to expand that program by adding fresh produce to our food boxes.

Loaded with vitamins and nutrients, fresh vegetables are essential in the fight

against hunger and malnutrition.

• Large crop? We can provide volunteer groups to help harvest.

• Corn, cucumbers, squash, beans, potatoes, carrots, apples, all produce is needed.

Gardens A recent study estimates that a 10’ X 20’ garden can grow $600 of vegetables each year. Most of those are used for private con-sumption. However, many garden-ers set aside areas to grow food which is donated to hunger relief agencies.
