Grow-A-Row

For more than 25 years, UAH has been encouraging gardeners to grow an extra row to donate to food pantries. Because fresh produce isn’t easy to come by at pantries, both pantries and clients really appreciated when gardeners can donate good vegetables and fruits.
However because staff at pantries and extremely busy and pantries have limited capacity, some have requested that gardeners interested in making produce donations do so at certain times.
Below is a list of food pantries that accept produce donations and the times that you can drop off your harvest. You may want to call them before heading over to drop off produce to insure that their times haven’t changed.

Thanks for your work to help fight hunger!
