What is Plant a Row for the Hungry (PAR)?

With the start of the growing and planting season we’re looking for gardeners like you to help feed the hungry in Ulster County by planting an extra row in your garden this summer and  signing up to take the excess produce to our office. If you don’t have room to plant an extra row – sign up to donate the excess produce nearly all gardens produce.  

Our nutrition program educators, who work with low-income children, families, and seniors in hands-on programs, will use and distribute the food when working with participants. Donated produce will also be given to food pantries in Kingston and New Paltz. 

Plant a Row for the Hungry began in 1995, as a  public service campaign by the Garden Writers Association to encourage gardeners to grow a little extra and donate the produce to local soup  kitchens and food banks that serve the homeless and  hungry.
