Plant A Row (PAR) is a nationwide, people-to-people program sponsored locally by The Gig Harbor Farmers Market. The goal is to connect home gardeners who grow extra fruits and vegetables with those in our community who are in need of that nutritious food.  PAR volunteers pledge to donate produce through the Community Food Bank's network of food pantries and at PAR-sponsored events.  PAR gardens are excellent projects for families, schools, and youth organizations.

PAR's aim is to make it convenient for home gardeners and others with extra fresh produce to find locations that welcome donations of any size and will quickly distribute the fresh fruit and vegetables to those in need.
