Plant an extra row this spring to support the food bank

Growing a vegetable garden this year? Consider planting an extra row in support of North York Harvest food banks. Each summer, we distribute thousands of pounds of fresh produce through donations from local gardeners, farms, and community gardens. The produce provides a valuable supplement to the non-perishable staples that make up traditional food hampers. It also helps to relieve some of the strain on the food bank's inventory when donations are seasonally low.

If you are interested in organizing members of your community to join your Plant-A-Row efforts, we can help! Contact Bhavana at 416-635-7771 ext. 48 or by email at bhavana [at] northyorkharvestfoodbank [dot] com for tips, ideas, and supporting materials.

Plant A Row – Grow A Row is a national initiative to encourage gardeners to share their harvest with others. For more information about this initiative as well as resources for children, visit www.growarow.org.
