August Community Partner Spotlight
To help support food security, all nine of our community gardens have share-rows. These share-rows are planted, maintained, and harvested with all produce being donated locally to residents in partnership with Gwinnett Health and Human Services, cooperative ministries, housing authorities, and more.
Our August community partner spotlight highlights the incredible volunteers and resident gardeners who dedicate their time to the success of the Harvest Gwinnett share-rows! Since January 2022, over 560 volunteers have dedicated close to 1,130 service hours, harvesting more than 2,400 pounds of fresh produce for donation! Thank you for helping us grow!
