How to Participate

As coordinator for the National Capital Area PAR, the American Horticultural Society has volunteered its River Farm headquarters as a drop-off location for fruit and vegetable donations. River Farm is located at 7931 East Boulevard Drive, approximately four miles south of Old Town Alexandria on the George Washington Parkway. For driving directions, please click here.

•  Simply plant an extra row of fruits or vegetables, or share the harvest from your current plot. Canned or packaged food may also be donated but will not be considered in the total donated weight.
   

• Deliver the harvest to the American Horticultural Society’s Education Office at River Farm by noon on Monday between April 1 and November 1. Be sure your donation is in a suitable condition for consumption. There will be no refrigeration services so it is important to have the food delivered on time to make the weekly delivery. An AHS representative will take the food to the Capital Area Food Bank.
   

• If you do not have a garden or would like to provide additional help, you can make a tax-deductible financial contribution of any size to:
  
  Plant a Row for the Hungry
  GWA Foundation
  10210 Leatherleaf Court
  Manassas, VA 20111
