Rows for the Hungry & Donation Orchard

Picture
Our vision is to serve the community with fresh produce that has been planted, tended, weeded, watered, harvested and distributed by dedicated volunteers.
Rows for the Hungry is a ​1/2 acre+ volunteer worked donation garden whose produce is distributed to food pantries and other organizations serving our food insecure neighbors in the urban core of Kansas City as well as Olathe and the surrounding communities in Johnson county.   Contact us to volunteer!

Rows for the Hungry supplies multiple outlets with fresh garden produce from April to November. The 2022 total was over 6,000 pounds.  ​

​The orchard was planted in October 2015 and expanded in 2018.  We started harvesting apples and pears in the fall of 2018.  We are looking forward to harvesting strawberries this spring and cherries in early summer. We will grow melons again in 2023.
