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 350,000 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 celebrate 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.

Plant A Row for the Hungry inspires Port Washington residents to help alleviate food insecurity through four main initiatives. We offer a variety of ways to get involved, regardless of your gardening expertise. You don’t need a green thumb, just an interest in growing together.
