Be a Pantry Produce Partner

If you have surplus home-grown produce or eggs from your farm or garden, please share it with the Pantry.  Our guests appreciate the extra fresh, local, healthy produce and protein. 

During the summer and fall we encourage home gardeners to dedicate a row of your garden to planting extra vegetables, herbs and fruits for the Pantry. 

Why Grow a Row?

  • Fight Hunger: Your surplus produce can help fill the shelves of MKIFP providing fresh, nutritious food to those who need it most.

  • Build Community: Gardening is more than just a hobby; it’s a way to connect with your family and neighbors to create a stronger, more resilient community.

  • Teach Generosity: Involve your children in the process and teach them the value of giving back, fostering a sense of empathy and responsibility.

Besides cultivating plants; you are nurturing hope, health, and happiness. Join us in this simple yet powerful act of kindness, and let’s make sure everyone in our community has access to the fresh food they deserve.

Start Growing Today – Because a Community That Grows Together, Thrives Together!
