Plant a Row for the Hungry
What’s happening? More and more people in the Southern Tier are turning to emergency food programs
for help. In 2011, the Food Bank of the Southern Tier’s network of food pantries, soup kitchens, and other
programs received over 1.3 million requests for food.
How can YOU help? The Food Bank is encouraging local gardeners like yourself to plant a row of crops
for the hungry in 2011. Why not team up with a friend or a neighborhood group? Your gardening skills
and fresh vegetables can make a difference.
What can gardeners donate? All vegetables are welcome. Beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, onions,
peppers, squash, and tomatoes are especially popular.
Where and when can you drop off vegetables? There are two options:
1) Bring your donation to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, Monday-Friday, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, or
2) Bring your donation to a food pantry or other program in or near your community.
In 2011, 2,547 pounds of produce were donated to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier.
