Plant a Row for the Hungry
Cultivating and tasting homegrown, sun-ripened vegetables and herbs can be soothing to you and to your wallet. Late spring is the perfect time to plant tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers, black-eyed peas, butter beans, snap peas, okra and eggplant. Plant an extra row of these veggies in your garden and donate it to one of our partner agencies. Don’t have a garden? A community garden is a great way to get started!

Earlier this week, leaders of different faiths came together to celebrate Bill and his work at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church - the place where the Food Bank got its start. See the photos from the ceremony on our Facebook page.
