Program allows gardeners to share their food

Consider donating your extra produce this year.

Gardeners are invited to consider sharing their bounty with community organizations through Grow-a-Row, a campaign connecting folks in need of fresh food.

The national program focuses on planting, picking, rescuing, and delivering free, fresh garden produce to community partners who will then distribute it to neighbors, according to a press release from the organization. Gardeners may deliver goods to sites in Delaware, Blackford, Jay and Grant counties.

Sites in Jay County include Jay County Drug Prevention Coalition, 100 N. Meridian St., Portland, and Jay Community Center, 115 E. Water St., Portland. For a complete list of donation sites, check out the donation site list at healthycommunityalliance.org.
