Leave a Meal, Grow a Meal

How it works:

Attend a seed swap event: bring seeds, take seeds, leave a canned or non-perishable food (or two) to be donated to a local food pantry. Nurture yourself and pay it forward in your community.

  1. Bring your seeds
    • It does not matter if:
      • your seeds are not in season
      • your seeds are not labeled (even if they are in a plastic bag- its fine.)
      • your package is opened (we assume they will be opened)
  2. Look through the available seeds and pick some you want.
    • It is NOT a one-one swap! You can take more than you bring!
    • Some seeds are in their original packaging, some not.
    • We have general growing guides-try something new!
  3. Leave a canned or non-perishable food to be donated to a local food pantry.
    • As long as it is non-perishable and not expired, we encourage you to bring it.
    • You are NOT required to bring a can.
      • alternatives:
        • Donate to a local food pantry using the QR codes we will have available.
        • Volunteer your own time at a food pantry.
        • Spread the word to people you know. You never know who might be interested.
