Plant A Row’s mission is to mobilize the community to grow and distribute fresh produce to local families facing food insecurity and promote sustainable practices that combat climate change.
Founded in 2010, Plant A Row for the Hungry empowers residents to help their neighbors have access to nutritious food by growing and donating fresh produce. With more than 325,000 servings of fruits and vegetables delivered to food pantries, we unite the community through our volunteer programs and enduring partnerships. We welcome residents of all ages to join us as we work together to make a difference in our town. Keep scrolling down to learn more about our initiatives.


As we embark on our 15th year of service, we have made meaningful contributions to our town thanks to the help of our countless supporters. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected community.
