Poverty needs Produce.
Every day, 44 million people across the nation, including 13 million children, face food insecurity. These people often are forced to poor-quality diets with a lower intake of fruit and vegetables, and many food banks have reported that fresh produce is the hardest thing to acquire for their clients.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people facing food insecurity face higher rates of diet-related chronic disease such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Children who don’t receive proper nutrition are also at a higher risk of developmental problems and mental health concerns.

We’re on a mission:
to positively impact as many lives as possible through a volunteer effort of planting, picking, rescuing, and delivering free fresh produce.
How We Help.
At America’s Grow-a-Row we use a unique model of Growing, Gleaning, and Giving
Glean.
We GLEAN–or rescue–fresh produce from local farms and grocery stores and donate it to local food pantries and soup kitchens.
Give.
We GIVE by educating the communities we serve on how to buy, prepare, and cook fresh produce on a budget.
