The Grow and Share program is an outreach of a number of churches and other support groups dedicated to cooperatively assisting in the serious matter of hunger and poor nutrition in our area. The basic idea was to develop a pipeline for getting wholesome, fresh fruits and vegetables to the needy via the Greater Berks Food bank. Participating churches act as collecting centers for members and non-members who agree to share some of their abundance each Sunday. On that same day the donated foods is gathered in a central location and delivered to the Food Bank early on Monday for distribution.
