Plant a Row for the Hungry

Plant a Row for the Hungry

Approximately 25 million people, including 9.9 million children, have substandard diets or must resort to seeking emergency food because they cannot always afford the food they need. In the past year, the demand for hunger assistance has increased by 40%, and research shows that hundreds of hungry children and adults are turned away from food banks each year because of lack of resources.

If every gardener plants an extra row for the hungry and donates their surplus to a local food bank or soup kitchen, I have a feeling hunger would be nearly wiped out in America. What a great idea.
