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.

We had an extra special harvest this evening at America's Grow-a-Row. A group of community members who receive our produce through United Way of Hunterdon County and River Crossing YMCA joined us in the fields to harvest tomatoes for their families as well as others in their community. We appreciate their hard work and generosity in giving back and helping other people in the community who are in need of fresh, nutritious food.
