the opportunity to lend a hand to people in our town who are not sure where
their next meal is coming from. Vegetable Gardeners Wanted!
When you plan your garden this year, please join the thousands of gardeners who Plant a Row for the Hungry.
Plant a
Row for the Hungry is a people
helping people program. There is no money involved, just you, your garden, and
the opportunity to lend a hand to people in our town who are not sure where
their next meal is coming from.
There
are two important ways that you, the home gardener, can get involved in the Plant
a Row for the Hungry program. The first way is simple. Just donate
any excess vegetables, fruits or herbs that you may have during the growing
season. The second way to become involved would be to actually Plant a
Row in your vegetable garden just for the Hungry and
donate all the vegetables produced from that row to the food shelf.
Donating your fresh produce is easy. The Goodhue County Food Shelf is located at the First Lutheran Church at 615 West 5th St. in Red Wing. The Food Shelf entrance is on the West Avenue side and there is a canopy above the stairway that has FOOD SHELF written on it. The Food Shelf is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
If you would like to donate during off-hours, please leave your fresh produce at the bottom of the steps and then leave a message at any of these numbers: Craig 388-5985, Mary 388-2698 or Monty 388-8662.
For more information, please call the above numbers or email tlyockey@northerngardening.com.
