Support Fresh Food for the Reading Food Pantry! 

For the past two years, the Reading Food Pantry has been growing fresh vegetables in the community garden to provide nutritious food to those in need. This year, we’re making it even easier for them by offering raised bed garden plots at no charge—but we need your help!

We’re asking Reading residents and gardeners to consider sponsoring a garden plot for the Food Pantry. Your contribution—whether covering the full fee or a portion of it—will help offset the cost of water for these plots, ensuring the pantry can continue growing fresh, local produce for our neighbors in need.

How You Can Help:

  • Sponsor a full or partial garden plot fee
  • Spread the word to fellow gardeners & residents
  • Support fresh, local food for those in need

Every contribution makes a difference!
