The Food Depot, a food bank in Northern New Mexico, is experiencing increased need for fresh produce due to high transportation costs. The document encourages individuals, groups, and businesses to participate in the "Plant a Row for the Hungry" program by donating extra homegrown fruits and vegetables to the Food Depot for distribution to families, seniors, and those in need. Donated produce can be dropped off during business hours, and financial or material donations are also accepted to support the campaign.

1. Plant a Row
for the Hungry!
The Food Depot, Northern New Mexico's Food Bank, is experiencing a heightened need for
fresh produce as transportation costs limit our ability to afford frequent shipments of fruits and
vegetables. Now's the time to share the gifts from your garden with hungry people in our
community.
Participation is easy! Plant one extra row of vegetables or fruits and donate the proceeds
directly to The Food Depot. The Food Depot will distribute the food from your garden to
families, seniors and the working poor across Northern New Mexico.
Individuals: Bring your surplus fruits, vegetables, and herbs to The Food Depot, 1222 Siler
Road in Santa Fe during business hours (8:00-4:00) for distribution to those in need.
Groups: Organize a multi-garden donation or grow a demonstration/education garden and
donate the crops.
Businesses: Your business or employer can contribute in-kind or financial donations to
support our Plant a Row campaign. Make a financial contribution, provide free materials to
Plant a Row gardeners, or distribute this flyer to help the campaign.
