Healthy Henry County Communities reminds gardeners that even small donations make a difference. Whether you have extra cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, or other garden goods, your contributions help put nutritious food on the tables of families throughout the area.
“Reminders: When donating fresh produce, call ahead for hours and drop-off guidance,” the campaign notes. “If you can’t wash or bag the produce, please place it in a cardboard box and be sure to include your name.”
By participating in this initiative, Henry County residents can help neighbors in need while reducing food waste and fostering a stronger, healthier community.
