The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank (CPFB) team and the Lancaster County Master Gardeners ask you to join our collaborative Adopt a Pantry program to help pantries and neighbors in need.

All community members are invited to volunteer to grow extra vegetables, herbs, and fruits specifically for any of the participating CPFB's pantries.  Find one near you. During the 2025 growing season, we far exceeded our goals--with donations of more than 15,000 pounds of to the CPFB's participating pantries in the 2025 growing season.  

In 2026, we welcome new and experienced gardeners, and master gardeners will help answer questions throughout the growing season. To kick off the season, we will host a webinar on March 4th--registration link is here.

We are pleased to partner with Fresh Food Connect, an app that helps growers track their donations throughout the season.

Additional information is available on Central Pennsylvania Food Bank's website. 

If you have questions, please contact Area Master Gardener Coordinator, Christa Shoreman

The app is available for download on Apple App Store, Google Play Store.
