Garden Share is a FOOD Share community-based effort that engages neighborhoods to grow produce to help feed the hungry of Ventura County.

If you would "Grow A Row" and donate the produce, you would help FOOD Share to feed the 41,200 people who are hungry each month.

 

Start a garden and donate the food

The Grow Food Party Crew will help you design and plant a garden.  Excess produce can be donated to FOOD Share.

Start a Community Garden

If your church is interested in starting a garden, information about the Community Roots Garden can be found at www.communityrootsgarden.org.  You may also contact Lorraine Rubin, Community Roots Garden volunteer at (805) 218-9262 or lorrainerubin@earthlink.net.

 

Volunteer to harvest food

Gleaning excess produce from neighborhood trees, gardens, and local growers' fields helps us feed the hungry.
