Goals set for Hunger Free N.D. Garden Project
BISMARCK - At a sweet corn cantly increased the amount of food
plot that will be harvested and do-
nated to feed the hungry, Agriculture
Commissioner Doug Goehring on
July 1 asked gardeners across the
state to donate extra fruits and veg-
etables this year to help meet the
needs of hungry North Dakotans.
"One in nine of our fellow citi-
zens seeks food assistance from char-
itable feeding programs every year,"
Goehring said. "We are asking indi-
viduals and groups to join in the
2015 Hunger Free N.D. Garden Proj-
ect to grow and distribute at least a
million servings of fresh produce to
North Dakota food pantries, shelters
and charitable feeding organiza-
tions."
"Sadly in a state that produces so
much food, hunger is very much a
problem here - the Great Plains Food
Bank served 11.4 million meals in
2014, an increase of more than
700,000 over the previous year,"
Goehring said. "Sadder yet, almost
37 percent of those needing help are
children and 12 percent are seniors."

Garden project has not only signifi-
we have been able to provide for
those in our state struggling with
hunger, but it has also played a
key role in our goal to provide more
fresh and healthy food," said Sell-
ent. "We regularly hear how much
having access to these fruits and veg-
etables is appreciated by the more
than 87,000 children, families and
seniors who look to us for nutrition
assistance."
Information about the garden
project, including drop-off points for
garden-grown produce will be avail-
able on the North Dakota Depart-
