Marvin Makofsky has founded Plant a Row for the Hungry in Port Washington, N.Y. He emails, “This program has two primary objectives: provide homegrown, fresh vegetables for the community’s needy, and encourage children to grow organic vegetables at home and give back a portion. The volunteer team and I have garnered the support of the Western Nassau County government, the local chamber of commerce, and many talented artists to paint, plant, and place 50 large containers around town. In the last two years more than 6,500 pounds of produce have been distributed. Follow us on Facebook.”
