The Food Bank hopes Gardeners keep them in mind
What’s the number one rule when it comes to donating stuff to a food drive? NON PERISHABLE. Right? Not this time. The Oregon Food Bank is opening the door for perishable donations . . . the only catch is you have to grow the stuff yourself.
It’s actually a really cool idea. Through the Plant a Row program, gardeners simply dedicate one row of their garden to the Food Bank (it can be all one row of zucchini, a mix of rutabaga and carrots, whatever you like), then in the fall, you harvest and bring it to one of their distribution agencies.
