Plant A Row for the Hungry is a people-helping-people program to assist in feeding the homeless and hungry in their own community. Launched in 1995, the innovative public service campaign was developed by the Garden Writers Association to encourage gardeners to grow a little or a lot extra and donate the produce to local soup kitchens and food banks that serve the homeless and hungry.

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma along with the OSU Oklahoma County Extension Service and the OSU-Oklahoma City Farmers Market partnered to bring the program to the Oklahoma City area. These drop off sites have been established:

·Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma – 3355 S. Purdue, Oklahoma City
Monday – Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm
·OSU Oklahoma County Extension Service, 930 N. Portland, Oklahoma City
Monday – Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm
·OSU-Oklahoma City Farmers Market, 400 N. Portland, Oklahoma City
Wednesday and Saturday, 8:00am to 1:00pm
