An amazing day of impact with our friends from The GIANT Company! ?? They joined us in the fields to harvest winter squash for communities facing food insecurity, and their generosity doesn’t stop there—they also support us financially in our mission to grow and donate fresh produce. ??????

关于我们
America’s Grow-a-Row is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that grows, gleans, and gives nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables to people struggling with food insecurity headquartered in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. We believe that everyone deserves fresh food for healthy living. We donate over 3..5 million pounds – 14 million servings – of nutritious fruits and vegetables each year. Since our beginning in 2002, we have donated over 20 million pounds – 80 million servings – of fresh produce. With the help of over 10,000 volunteers each year, fresh produce is harvested from our farms and gleaned (or rescued) from local supermarkets and farms. That produce is donated to hunger relief agencies across 22 states nationwide through our network of distribution partners and locally at Free Farm Markets in low food access communities. We also have a robust education program with a focus on budget-friendly healthy eating and cooking, farming, and hunger awareness.

Gleaning is one of the three pillars of our organization where we rescue food from farms and grocery stores that otherwise would have gone to waste. We are thankful for our partner, @flocktownfarm, for giving us the opportunity to glean produce from their farm and donate it to people who cannot afford healthy food. This beautiful produce was picked and sorted by our volunteers, and transported to our headquarters by another amazing partner, New Jersey Agricultural Society (Farmers Against Hunger)! #bettertogether #hungerrelief
