For the second year in a row, members and friends of National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, will be harvesting seasonal farm-fresh produce at America’s Grow-a-Row in Pittstown. The event will take place on Sun., Oct. 30, at noon. All produce harvested that day will be given to those in need. This event is open to spouses and significant others, children, and grandchildren interested in helping out.
 
America’s Grow-a-Row produce is delivered throughout the state of New Jersey to food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, Free Farm Market programs, faith-based pantries and more. If there is a need for fresh, healthy produce, Grow-a-Row does its best to meet that need. Among the recipients of the produce harvested at Grow-a-Row are the Interfaith Food Pantry of Morris County, the Community Food Bank and the Morristown Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center.
 
While what is available for picking varies, the range could be apples, peppers, green beans, cabbage, corn and more.
 
The NCJW is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.
