You can fight hunger when you donate your extra garden harvest to hunger relief agencies. Plant A Row for the Hungry is a national program that encourages gardeners to donate a portion of their harvest, whether it be a whole row or a handful.
All donations are accepted but here is a list of the most desired foods: tomatoes (pick when slightly under-ripe) garlic, onions, leafy greens, cabbage, kale, cucumbers, carrots, all types squash, all types of peas/beans, herbs, tomatillos, sweet and hot peppers
Please harvest produce just before delivery to ensure our clients get the freshest food possible. See below for Hopelink Center locations and their donation drop-off hours. The website ampleharvest.org is another resource that helps gardeners locate their nearest food pantry.
