Edible Garden
Gardening is a great way to get outside and enjoy the warm summer weather. It is also a great way to help end hunger! Planting an edible garden at your home, with a Community Garden Project or working with a school in the community is the perfect way to help Manna supply those in need with fresh fruits and veggies!
With just a little bit of land, you can help to make sure that everyone throughout the Conejo Valley has access to delicious and nutritious fruits and veggies. If you do not have enough room in your own yard to plant a garden, don’t worry! Working with a local community garden or school can help to provide the right amount of land for a garden, while also helping to teach young children about plants, health, and teamwork!
When donating your fresh fruits and veggies to Manna, it is important to make sure that they are in the right condition. Taking the extra time needed to ensure that the fruit and vegetables are clean and free of any dirt, imperfections, and blemishes can help to ensure that they are looking and tasting their best when people come to pick them off the shelf.
Fresh fruits and veggies are one of the most sought after foods at Manna. For those people who do not have the income needed to pick out the perfect food at the store, finding a fresh piece of produce at Manna can help them get the nutrients that they need.
For more information on how you can give back to those in need with your own backyard garden, contact Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank in Thousand Oaks, California.
