Plant a Row for the Hungry


As spring approaches, many gardeners are looking ahead to the upcoming growing season. The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma is looking to expand the Plant a Row Program and encourages anyone with a garden to plant a little extra this growing season and donate the abundance to help feed Oklahoma’s hungry. Whether you’re a casual backyard gardener or a full-time farmer, you can help. No quantity is too small and donating is easy.

 

What is Plant a Row?

Launched in 1995 by the Garden Writers Association (GWA), Plant A Row for the Hungry is a people-helping-people program that encourages gardeners to grow a little extra and donate the produce to local soup kitchens and food pantries serving the homeless and hungry in their local communities.

How Can I Help?

The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma is happy to accept fresh produce from local gardeners. Bring your produce to one of our drop off points or Plant a Row events.
