Council Member Mariann Dalimonte visited Plant A Row for the Hungry in Port Washington on August 2 to meet with its founder Marvin Makofsky and local volunteers to help harvest produce for the local community.
Plant A Row for the Hungry was founded in 2010 and works to solve the community’s local hunger issues through gardening.
The program encourages residents to grow their own vegetables to share a portion with those in need. Plant A Row works with the Bayles Center to collect produce which is then given to Our Lady of Fatima for distribution.
Since its inception it has delivered over 50,000 pounds of produce to local food pantries which support Port Washington residents.
