Food Donations

Home-grown or purchased food donated to any local food pantry is equivalent to 10 pounds of food = 1 volunteer hour, with a maximum for each level of Master Gardener of 50 pounds (or 5 volunteer hours).  

We strongly encourage continued food donations, and reporting of such, even after volunteer hours have been met.  Consider starting a Plant a Row for the Hungry (PAR) campaign (https://gardencomm.org/StartPARCampaign) in your area or volunteer with the Growing Together Montana (GTMT) grant program (https://buyeatlivebetter.org/growing_together_montana.html).
