Plenty! cares for the Floyd community by providing a reliable source of fresh, nutritious foods to those in need. Plenty! Serves more than 250 Floyd families each weekday with door-to-door home deliveries and drive-thru pantry service and stocks two Floyd Free Fridges, one at the Jessie Peterman Memorial Library, four times a week, and one at Tri-Area Health Clinic, two days a week, to ensure no one goes without food.

Please help me support this beloved Floyd nonprofit and make a donation today. 

Plenty! started in 2008 when one of our founders, Karen Day, realized that the local food pantry could not take fresh beet greens that she gleaned at a farm where she was volunteering. She and co-founder McCabe Coolidge immediately went to work finding who could use the surplus. From this germ grew Portable Produce and then the Plenty! Fresh Pantry. Plenty! was an all-volunteer organization until 2016, when the founders were forced to stop the work due to personal matters. Plenty! gained non-profit status in 2015 and now distributes food year-round seven days a week. The Farm began in 2014 on 17 acres along the Little River. It uses organic practices, like crop rotations and cover crops, to sustain the health of the land and to provide clean, healthy food year-round. The work of Plenty! would not be possible without the help of more than 73 volunteers each week operating under the direction of Plenty! staff.
