Hello Gardeners,
Now that plants are thriving and producing like crazy, we need to start thinking about what to do with excess produce. Luckily, The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank has multiple food pantries conveniently located in the South Side that are in need of fresh produce.
It would be great if we could set up a weekly produce donation schedule where, on a designated evening, gardeners place any excess produce in a donation box, and one (or multiple) Food Bank Reps deliver the produce to a nearby pantry. By taking on this responsibility, these Reps would fulfill garden volunteer hours and help out neighbors in need!
Does this sound like a job for you? Please e-mail Jessica from Grow Pittsburgh if you are interested in becoming a Food Bank Rep: jessica@growpittsburgh.org
