We’re planning a party to celebrate the wonderful generosity of all you donors for Plant a Row for the Hungry.  There are over forty of you who’ve given so graciously of your time and bounty this season.  (And 14 of you brought in over 100 pounds each!  That is amazing.)  To date, we’ve collectively harvested  5600 pounds of gorgeous, homegrown fruits and veggies, which we in turn have taken to the Sunshine Pantry in Beaverton.  The need has been greater than ever this year, and I am told the produce is much sought after, flying off their shelves.

For all of you who’ve schlepped in here so faithfully every Sunday with your boxes and bags of veggies and fruits, we invite you to a Harvest Celebration.  Come and meet Sharon Straus, the founder and director of Sunshine Pantry, who would like to thank you for your efforts.  She will share with you some of the work they are doing at the Pantry, and what the future holds for them.    Enjoy a glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres while meeting other gardeners.

What:             Harvest Celebration for all  Plant a Row for the Hungry  Donors

Thank you, donors, for all your efforts this year!  We hope you can tear yourselves away from your gardens to attend this celebration, so we can thank you in person.
