Canning 4 Capron is a community-focused program aimed at reducing food waste and providing families with nutritious, shelf-stable foods. By working with local farms, we can preserve seasonal harvests through the traditional method of canning, ensuring that families have access to healthy, long-lasting food even after the growing season ends.

How It Works:

Harvesting the Bounty: Local farms donate surplus fruits, vegetables, and other produce.

Canning and Preserving: Our dedicated volunteers and community members work together to can the produce, turning fresh food into ready-to-use, shelf-stable meals.

Supplementing Food Distributions: These canned goods are then distributed to families as part of our regular food assistance programs, ensuring they have access to nutritious food throughout the year.

Why This Program Matters:

Fighting Food Waste: By preserving surplus crops, we prevent good food from going to waste and instead use it to feed those in need.

Providing Nutritious Options: Canned produce from local farms offers families nutrient-rich food that can be stored and used at any time, ensuring they have access to fresh, healthy meals even in tough times.

Strengthening Food Security: With canned goods available year-round, families in Capron can rely on a consistent food source, reducing the stress of food insecurity.

How You Can Help:

Volunteer Your Time: Join us in the kitchen! Whether you’re an expert canner or want to learn, we welcome volunteers to help us preserve the harvest.

Donate Supplies: Canning requires jars, lids, and equipment. Your donation of supplies ensures that we can preserve as much food as possible.

Support the Program Financially: Every dollar helps us purchase additional ingredients and canning supplies to expand our efforts and serve more families.

Get Involved!
