Fruitful Offerings

Thank you My Grandma's Coffee Cake for the donation of buckets! Next stop is Endicott Community Greenhouse where the buckets will be filled with vegetable plants for the 2026 Fruitful Offerings plant distribution at the Dedham Food Pantry.

Thanks to the hard work of Fruitful Offerings Garden volunteers Kaegan McLeod, Jeremy Chang, Matt Mahoney, Nick Valle and Eliot Moore, Dedham Food Pantry clients had more fresh vegetables to eat this summer. The group, led by Maggie Moore, grew the vegetables for people in need in our community while also learning how to grow their own food from start to bounty!

Today was the last plant distribution of the season. We gave away hundreds of vegtable plants to Dedham Food Pantry clients. Thank you to all that make this program possible, Dedham Savings, Endicott Community Greenhouse, Black Earth Compost, Dedham Food Pantry, Orleans Packing, Dover-Sherborn Middle School, my family and all the volunteers. Happy gardening!!!

Thank you, Dover-Sherborn Middle School eighth graders for volunteering today at the Fruitful Offerings Gardens! The students put together planters and planted beans. This project will grow between 25 to 30 pounds of green beans that will be donated to the Dedham Food Pantry. They came across the toad that was the mascot for the day.

We harvested beans from gardens today for the Dedham Food Pantry. The zucchini plants have lots of flowers and the tomato plants all have bunches of fruit. We can always use help from volunteers interested in weeding for as little or much as you want. No experience necessary! Contact us at [email protected].
