Gardeners are encouraged to plant an extra row of vegetables in their garden to donate to the local God's Pantry Food Bank. A recent study found that a 10' x 20' garden can produce $600 worth of vegetables each year. God's Pantry provides food assistance to over 1,400 families per month but wishes to add fresh produce to their emergency food boxes to provide more nutrients. Gardeners are asked to plant, grow, and donate extra fresh vegetables to help feed the hungry in their community.
