    Preserve and Store

    Advisors can answer food safety and preservation questions and provide information for preserving food safely.

    There are numerous organizations in Clark County that provide meals to those in need. Often these meals are prepared using canned and processed foods, primarily due to cost, convenience and storage. The individuals who receive these meals often do not have access to fresh produce or other more nutritional foods. This flyer lists organizations providing services in our community that are able to utilize fresh produce in their programs.

    Many gardeners also focus on growing extra produce for others in their family, neighborhood or community.   Many organizations are happy to get locally grown, healthy food to share with families in need.   Plant a Row for the Hungry, a campaign developed by the Garden Writers Association of America, has successfully encouraged home growers to share with others.  Since 1995 over 15 million pounds of produce have been donated. Another program is offered by the Oregon Food Bank.
