What is Plant-a-Row for the Hungry?
· University of Illinois Extension-Winnebago County Master Gardeners work to raise awareness about the
issues surrounding hunger in our community.
· Plant-a-Row for the Hungry provides a much needed outlet for vegetable gardeners to donate their
over-abundance of produce, which helps to meet the increasing demands on local food pantries.
· U of I Extension inspires gardeners to “plant an extra row” of veggies in their gardens with the intent of
donating that extra produce to help end hunger.
