META Growing extra vegetables this year

This isn’t a normal type of offer for assistance, but I know we have a lot of generous people that lurk here. Can we get a thread of people pledging to grow extra vegetables in their garden this year for the explicit purpose of donating to food banks? Everyone deserves fresh food.

I pledge: I planted two extra tomatoes (one Roma, one cherry), and two extra green beans for the purpose of donating.

Here is a website that can connect growers with food pantries that accept fresh produce near them: https://ampleharvest.org/find-pantry/

This is a wonderful idea. We currently have tomato's, peppers, corn, and radishes + broccoli & melons /cucumbers / green beans growing so an over abundance I'd be happy to pledge to donate!
