Harvest Time!

Don’t Compost; Donate Instead!

Share Excess Produce To Combat Food Insecurity & Help The Environment!

The Michigan Garden Clubs, Inc. Gardening with Purpose Initiative was launched in April 2024. Since that time many of our Clubs and their members have donated their excess produce to local soup kitchens and pantries.

But we have learned through the 2024 Fall District Meetings that many of our clubs and members were not aware of this initiative to help fight food insecurity while reducing the methane gas that is released by composting excess produce.

THERE IS STILL TIME TO DONATE!

As your garden club, members or other organization you work with to grow produce are now harvesting the last of the garden produce please consider donating the excess produce to your local food pantry or soup kitchen.
