yummykaz,
Hopefully this site will be helpful to you...

Here is a link that might be useful: Plant a Row Grow a Row

Hi Yummykaz,

Good for you! You should be very proud to share the idea at your sons Bar Mitzvah. The project "Plant A Row For The Hungry" was created, in part, by the garden writers association of america. If you go to www.gwaa.org , there is a lot of useful information on the project and they might even be able to send you plastic plant labels that you could pass out at the bar mitzvah. Good luck and...mazel tov!

Thanks everyone! My son's Bar Mitzvah was last weekend during our destival of Sukot which is a harvest festival. I laid out on a table pictures of him and his produce he grew, and the things Grow a Row sent to me. I also printed some handouts off their website. My son mentioned this project in his speech.

We had a blessed weekend!

What a wonderful thing to teach your son. Congratulations!

yummykaz,

that is awesome! maybe you and your son could even organize a group at your synagogue to garden together for that purpose? congratulations to your son.

IÂve tried to locate a place for extra produce to be distributed since our local senior center changed its food service. The new service will not take donations of any fresh veggies

I then contacted the areaÂs Interfaith Council for suggestions as well as Senior Gleaners. The general response was that if it wasnÂt canned goods - forget it.

IÂd like to hear of your experience with actually being able to find an organization that would take garden produce.

We donate ours to a free restaurant, they love it. Our company provides land, water, seeds, and we donate the food grown. Usually people go out on their lunch hour and work in it once or twice a week.
