Join us for a day of service. Be a part of the solution and come roll up your sleeves as we help those struggling with food insecurity by harvesting fresh produce.
September 14 from 5-7pm.
Location: TBD! Grow A Row has two Clinton area farms (Pittstown and Milford) within minutes of each other. Due to the unpredictable nature of farming and the weather, we won’t know the farm location or what we’ll be harvesting until about 3-5 days before the event. We will reach out via text to alert you before the big day.
Questions? Contact Sarah: spopa@communityincrisis.org
A message from the cause themselves:
“Join our farm team! We believe everyone deserves access to fresh food for healthy living. With the help of 9,000 volunteers annually, we harvest, rescue, and donate over 2.5 million pounds, or 10 million servings, of produce to hunger relief agencies throughout New Jersey, New York City, eastern Pennsylvania, the mid-Atlantic region, and beyond. Volunteering with America’s Grow-a-Row is a fun, rewarding experience that directly impacts people struggling with food insecurity in our local communities.”
