N.C. Governor Plants a Row for the Hungry

September 24, 2009 by Richard Callahan 1 Comment

In addition to the regular kitchen garden on the grounds of the governor’s mansion here in Raleigh, Governor Bev Perdue has planted extra collard greens and cabbage as part of the Plant a Row for the Hungry national campaign.

Have you heard about this program? Plant a Row started in 1995 and  encourages gardeners to plant an extra row of vegetables in their gardens and then donate the produce to local food agencies and soup kitchens.  American gardeners have donated more than 14 million pounds of food as part of this grassroots effort.  And it was all started by one guy.  What a story!

That’s Life in Raleigh.

    Your readers may want to visit http://www.AmpleHarvest.org – a site that helps diminish hunger by enabling backyard gardeners to share their crops with neighborhood food pantries.

    The site is free both for the food pantries and the gardeners using it.

    Over 970 food pantries nationwide are already on it and more are signing up daily.

    It includes preferred delivery times, driving instructions to the pantry as well as (in many cases) information about store

    bought items also needed by the pantry (for after the growing season).

    If your community has a food pantry, make sure they register on http://www.AmpleHarvest.org.
