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 96 million servings – 24 million pounds – of fresh produce. With the help of over 11,000 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 23 states nationwide through our network of distribution partners and locally at Free Farm Markets in low food access communities. We have a robust education program with a focus on budget-friendly healthy eating and cooking, agriculture, and hunger awareness.

Executive Director at Table to Table. Nonprofit impact leader dedicated to engaging communities to drive social change.
A fun field trip with Julie Kinner today to visit our friends at America's Grow-a-Row! Our mission at Table to Table, to reduce food waste and ensure our neighbors have access to fresh, healthy food, is so aligned with the incredible work of the Grow-A-Row team. We started collaborating with them last fall to bring more Jersey-fresh produce to pantries and neighborhood distributions on the eastern side of the state, and we're excited to explore ways we can deepen our partnership this year and in the future! Thank you Chip Paillex and Tristan Wallack for a wonderful visit - we can't wait to come back during growing season!

Grow. Glean. Give. ?? "Glean" is the second pillar of our organization and simply means "to rescue." It takes an amazing network of volunteers and partners to make our store gleaning program successful. After volunteers pick up gleaned produce from our retail store partners, they drive it to partner agencies, like food pantries and soup kitchens, to be distributed to people struggling with food insecurity in our local communities. Thank you to all of the agencies who helped distribute over 240,000 lbs. of gleaned produce in 2024! #glean #foodrescue #growgleangive #farmingforgood

Fancy fruit salad, bean salad, and Fattoush! This year's cooking education classes are off to an amazing start. Our team visited Michelle Obama Elementary School, Team Walker, Inc., Joseph H. Firth Youth Center, and Lincoln Elementary School (New Brunswick Public Schools) where students learned fun and tasty recipes, practiced their knife skills, and tried fruits and veggies they had never tasted before. The students have been excellent chefs and brave tasters—great job! ???????? #kidscookingeducation #cookingforkids #fattoush #salad #knifeskills
