EARTH CENTER CONSERVANCY Rows for the Hungry

Mission Statement

Rows for the Hungry (RFH c/o the EARTH. Center Conservancy) exists to provide effective assistance for the food insecure in Middlesex County, New Jersey. RFH was founded with the primary mission of providing locally grown, fresh and nutritious harvests for hunger relief. It is a donation farm-garden worked by volunteers. Crops are cultivated from seed to harvest. Volunteers include Master Gardeners from the Rutgers Cooperative Extension, corporate volunteer groups, student groups, service groups, and scouting groups. RFH raises vegetables, fruits, and herbs for the local food banks, soup kitchens, and training programs with the primary goal being to reduce food insecurity in neighboring communities. A secondary goal of RFH is education to contribute to building a healthier community through sharing all aspects of growing, caring, harvesting, and donating the first rate local produce to our community member neighbors who are food insecure.
