HOW TO HELP
Cultivate Iowa asks Iowans to plant a little extra in their gardens to donate
to their local food pantries. Gardeners don’t need to have a big garden to
donate; any amount is helpful and needed. Iowans can learn about
gardening, learn about donating produce and pledge to donate on their
website.
Organizations that wish to collaborate should email Cultivate Iowa
at info@cultivateiowa.org, as they are currently looking for partners.
