Do you love to garden? Have you heard of Grow-A-Row?

Grow-A-Row is a way to share food with your community. Harvest Manitoba redistributes locally grown produce to a record 50,000+ Manitobans that turn to food banks each month. All produce is welcome, but root crops are encouraged due to their long shelf life. Cucumbers, tomatoes and even crab apples are also welcomed!

Their 3 most needed vegetables are: Carrots, Onions and Potatoes.

Here’s how you can help:

• At Home: Grow an extra row (or two) of produce in your backyard, or turn an empty neighbourhood space into a community garden. Invite your neighbours, family and friends to do the same.
• At school: This is an excellent class project. Students can learn how to plant and tend a garden while learning about food insecurity, gardening, nutrition and philanthropy.

At the Community Club: Community clubs can get involved as well by creating community gardens or adding rows to existing gardens.
