Grow
an Extra Row!
 An
excellent method for generating donations of fresh produce is the
launching of a “Grow an Extra Row” campaign. The Grow
An Extra Row campaign encourages gardeners and citizens of New York
to grow an extra row of fruits or vegetables for donation to Emergency
Food Programs or other community agencies. The food donations are
generated through Public Service Announcements on radio stations
and in newspapers and through appeals to gardening groups. Hunger
Action can assist you in launching a Grow an Extra Row Campaign
in your area.
Fill
in your contact information on our Grow
An Extra Row flyer and post it at community centers, supermarkets,
libraries or any other useful community sites. This Public
Service Announcement can be sent to local media, encouraging
the community to share the harvest. If you have extra food you'd
like to donate, contact your local food pantry or ask Hunger Action
Network for help in identifying one in your area.
In
New York's North Country, A Community Harvests
GardenShare
is a network of gardeners in northern New York State working to
end hunger. These gardeners share their harvest with neighbors in
need.
