Plant a Row for the Hungry is a community-wide project aimed to help reduce hunger issues in and around the Town of Caroline, NY.
Anybody is welcome to register for a row or bed in either of the community food pantry gardens or in one's backyard through the Brooktondale Community Center (volunteer@brooktondalecc.org). The donated vegetables, herbs and fruits will provide fresh, organic produce to low-income residents in the Town of Caroline who attend bi-monthly Caroline Food Pantry distributions.
Rows will be available for adoption, with groups and families who sign up for a row or bed responsible for the cultivation and care of anything that goes into that row or bed. The "Plant a Row for Hungry" Project, says Patricia Brhel, Chairman of the BCC Board, "is perfect for scouts, clubs, church groups, friends, student groups and individuals. Everyone who participates will get something out of this project," she said. "Whether they participate because they want to help others or because they enjoy the great outdoors, there will be many benefits for those who volunteer to take care of a row in a community garden or in their backyard."
For those who would like to take part in the B.I.G. Project there will be a learning garden, two community food pantry gardens, free workshops, chicken coops to build and help with promotion of events that will need hands-on participation and community involvement through the Brooktondale Community Center.
