Grow a Row for SCO

 Calling all gardeners!  As you plant your garden this year consider planting a row with the intention of  donating whatever grows in that row to charity.  Designate one row as the SCO row and whatever goodies grow there, donate to Outreach this fall. Your $2 packet of seeds combined with a little bit of dirty knees and mud under your fingernails would really mean a lot to a family who doesn't otherwise have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.  

If you are planting with us in mind here's a list of our guests favorite garden veggies:
  • potatoes
  • corn on the cob
  • carrots
  • onions
  • peas
  • beans
  • tomatoes
  • lettuce
  • berries - any kind of berries if you have extra!
We will accept any extra garden produce you have and pass them on to our guests in need.
The majority of our guests live in apartments and don't have garden space available to them. Yet everyone loves to snack on fresh vegetables when they can get their hands on them.  Because who doesn't love to participate in the abundance of a fall harvest?

Also, if you are clearing out last years produce and canned goods from your freezer and pantry shelves to make room for this year's harvest we will happily accept these goods as well.  Our guests love jams and preserves and our cooks use frozen veggies in the casseroles and soups they cook up for the people we serve.

So join us at the harvest table and help us fill the horn of plenty that we might share your abundant harvest with people in need.
