Become a Giving Gardener

When planting your garden this year, please consider growing an additional row to support struggling families in our community. The extra produce can be donated directly to our pantry.

We kindly request that only whole fruits and vegetables (not cut) are donated. To coordinate a drop-off time at our pantry and ensure space in our coolers, please contact our office at 815-972-1135.

With your help, local families can experience fresh produce!
