Donate veggies to the local food bank

The Oregon Food Bank has started a new “Plant a Row” campaign in an effort to get more fresh produce to their clients: http://www.oregonfoodbank.org/ofb_services/food_programs/PlantaRow.html

Here is their “most wanted” veggies list:

Food pantries and soup kitchens need produce that stores and transports well. Refrigerated space is often limited, so foods that don’t require refrigeration are always wanted. Here are some recommendations: Tomatoes (pick while slightly under-ripe) Green beans Winter squash (acorn or butternut) Garlic Hot peppers Cucumbers Zucchini Collard greens Onions
