This is also a good time to remind folks to think about planting an extra row or two in next year's garden, which they can donate at their local food bank.

They may want to visit www.AmpleHarvest.org - a site that helps diminish hunger by enabling backyard gardeners to share their crops with neighborhood food pantries. The site is free both for the food pantries and the gardeners using it. More than 970 food pantries nationwide are already on it and more are signing up daily. It includes preferred delivery times, driving instructions to the pantry as well as (in many cases) information about store bought items also needed by the pantry (for after the growing season). AmpleHarvest.org enables people to help their community by reaching into their back yard instead of their back pocket. Lastly, if your reader's community has a food pantry, they should make sure the pantry registers on www.AmpleHarvest.org. Its free.
