Bridgewater-Raritan High School students went down to the farm on Wednesday, October 16.
Students from Keriann Fry’s Leadership and Philanthropy class had the opportunity to put their philanthropic skills into action by participating in the gleaning process at America’s Grow-a-Row farm in Pittstown.
According to Ms. Fry, America’s Grow-a-Row is a non-profit organization that focuses on fighting hunger and educating communities about agriculture.
She revealed that the organization grows fresh produce and donates it to food banks, soup kitchens, and many other agencies that help provide for those in need.
Ms. Fry also reported more on the Bridgewater-Raritan High School students’ visit to the farm in Hunterdon County.
“After learning about the organization and what the paid farmers do at their job, students were given the opportunity to step in their shoes. Together they harvested over 3,000 pounds of tomatoes, which will provide over 12,000 servings of fresh produce for our neighbors in need.”
Portrait packages are in! Once they are sorted, they will be distributed to the students in their English Language Arts classes starting next week.
