Harvest Produce for Those in Need —and Have Fun Doing It!

Looking for a way to help people in need and to share in the camaraderie of NCJW? Volunteer on Sunday, September 20, at noon, to help us harvest farm-fresh produce at America’s Grow a Row, 150 Pittstown Road, Pittstown, NJ. All produce we harvest will be given to those in need. This event is open to spouses and significant others, children, and grandchildren interested in doing a mitzvah. It’s an NCJW Family Day.

Grow a Row produce is delivered throughout the state of New Jersey to food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, Free Farm Market℠ programs, faith-based pantries, and more. If there is a need for fresh, healthy produce, Grow a Row does its best to meet that need. Among the recipients of the food harvested at Grow a Row are the Interfaith Food Pantry of Morris County, the Community Food Bank and the Morristown Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center.

The farm is in beautiful country and we’ll have a fun day in the outdoors in lovely surroundings. While what is available for picking varies, the range could be apples, peppers, green beans, cabbage, corn and more. To sign up, email Melanie Levitan (melanielevitan@gmail.com). We’ll try to arrange carpools.
