Congratulations to America’s Grow-a-Row (AGAR) for being awarded Bank of America’s 2017 Neighborhood Builder Award! AGAR partnered with MEND this year on a Free Farm Market at MEND’s Newark-based Pierre Toussaint Food Pantry, delivering, donating, and organizing an amazing amount of fresh produce for our patrons, and helping us fulfill our mission to provide fresh and healthy food. AGAR is so deserving of this award and honor. Thanks to Etta Rudolf Denk for inviting Robin Longaker Peacock and Kate Cahill to this special event!
