America’s Grow-a-Row is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that grows, gleans, and gives nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables to people struggling with food insecurity headquartered in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. We believe that everyone deserves fresh food for healthy living. We donate over 4 million pounds – 15.6 million servings – of nutritious fruits and vegetables each year. Since our beginning in 2002, we have donated over 96 million servings – 24 million pounds – of fresh produce. With the help of over 11,000 volunteers each year, fresh produce is harvested from our farms and gleaned (or rescued) from local supermarkets and farms. That produce is donated to hunger relief agencies across 23 states nationwide through our network of distribution partners and locally at Free Farm Markets in low food access communities. We have a robust education program with a focus on budget-friendly healthy eating and cooking, agriculture, and hunger awareness.
