We challenge you to dedicate one row of your vegetable garden for the food bank. One row can help people in your community gain access to fresh, healthy food. The local food banks need more unprocessed food, and grow a row is a great way for you to contribute.

Grow a Row has a number of objectives:

• To support the continued development of a positive and lasting relationship between the community and its food banks and soup kitchens
• To encourage our community to plant, grow and harvest an extra row of specific vegetables for local food banks and soup kitchens
• To ensure the produce is delivered to local food banks at specified drop-off locations and times
• To enlist the support of master gardeners, home gardeners, garden clubs, youth groups, seniors, schools, churches, local growers, community gardens and the media.

If you have surplus food in your garden and are wondering where you can donate it, please visit our Emergency Food Providers page.
