Veggies for the Pantry
2026 marks 10 years of Veggies for the Pantry!
As we celebrate 130,493 pounds of fresh garden produce donated from 2016 - 2025 we look forward to attempting to break our one-year record of 28,811 pounds collected in 2025.
What We Do
Veggies for the Pantry, an Extension Master Gardener project, encourages local gardeners to donate garden produce at convenient urban locations for transport to food pantries. You can find Veggies volunteers at locations below from 6:30-7:30pm each Monday beginning in Mid-July until the Monday following the first frost.
Produce donated on Monday evenings will be delivered to Emergency Food Pantry (Fargo) and Dorothy Day Food Pantry (Moorhead) by our team of Extension Master Gardeners on Tuesdays. This is a great opportunity to help those in need in our area, support the the work of NDSU Extension, and end the home-gardeners plight of too many cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, and peas! To assist in delivery of healthy food, please wash your hands before harvesting and deliver your items in a clean container.
