It's not too early to think spring! Get your seed packets ready to Plant A Row. When you're planting your garden this year, think of the hungry and plant an extra row! Volunteers needed to serve on a committee, help with publicity, act in an advisory capacity, start a group garden at their workplace, school or place of worship, help others start a garden or work in any other way to encourage people to plant extra crops in a garden to donate to CHOW to help feed the hungry.

Drop-off points for your clean, fresh produce: Broome County Council of Churches, CHOW Warehouse, 3 Otseningo Street, Binghamton, NY 13903, from 9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday - Friday.

Hillside Garden Center (722-4208), 1449 Front Street, Binghamton from 9:00am - 6:00pm, Monday - Friday and 9:00am - 5:30pm on Saturday

Bill's Garden Center (785-4184), Corner of Front & Main Streets, Vestal from 9:00am - 5:00pm Monday - Saturday.

CHOW will distribute that produce to pantries, soup kitchens and agencies providing meals to the needy, including Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, the VOA...over 50 local groups, who in turn distribute food to the hungry free of charge.

Last year, gardeners raised over ONE TON of fresh fruits and vegetables for CHOW/Broome Bounty. 100% of the food dropped off was used. This year's growing season promises an even bigger potential yield. Please remember the needy as you plant.
