Lettuce beet hunger among our neighbors this year by participating in our 2021 Garden Produce Rescue! Simply donate any extra items your home garden produces that would otherwise go to waste. Even a couple extra cucumbers here and there can make a big difference in the life of someone struggling with food insecurity. Donate your whole, washed produce by bringing it to the Gage County Extension office during normal business hours (M-F 8:00am-4:30pm). Your produce will be weighed and delivered to local entities within Gage County who serve those struggling with food insecurity. By donating your extra produce through Extension, you can be assured it is getting into the hands of people who need it while it’s still fresh.

The best nutrition advice should almost feel too simple. Simple in the fact that you can easily understand it, and simple in the fact that you can easily live it. So, rather than overcomplicating things, let’s chat about a healthy eating pattern and how small shifts can have a big impact on long-term health and well-being when repeated over time.
