Rutgers Serves the Garden State: America’s Grow-a-Row

Help fight food insecurity by volunteering with fellow alumni at America’s Grow-a-Row!

Take part in an evening of service, connection, and impact! We’re heading to America’s Grow-a-Row in Pittstown to help harvest fresh produce for individuals facing food insecurity, because everyone should have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Wear your scarlet with pride and come ready to roll up your sleeves for a meaningful cause. After we harvest crops that will be distributed to local food pantries, stick around to enjoy an hour of networking and camaraderie with fellow alumni in the barn. Light fare and beverages will be available.

Together, we can help end hunger, promote healthy living, and make a positive impact—Make a Difference, Make it Scarlet!

RSVP today and be a part of something bigger. See you in the fields!

Thanks to Prudential, our Rutgers Alumni Insurance Program partner, each participant will receive Rutgers Alumni gardening gloves.
