Plant a Row for Red Bank is a people-helping-people project providing a way for area gardeners to share their produce with neighbors served by the Red Bank Food Panty. Here’s how it works:
- PLANT EXTRA to donate to the Food Pantry.
- DEVELOP A RHYTHM of gathering ripe produce the day before distribution days (the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month).
- DELIVER your produce to the Red Bank UMC office (3800 Dayton Blvd, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37415), open 8am-12pm & 1-4pm.
- ANY PRODUCE YOU HAVE RIPENING by the distribution dates is welcome!
