Join works just fine for adding a row. For example,

In[19]:= m = Partition[Range[9], 3];
data = RandomInteger[{0, 4}, 3]

Out[20]= {2,0,0}

In[21]:= Join[m, {data}]

Out[21]= {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}, {2, 0, 0}}

or if I wanted to add a column I could do

In[22]:= Transpose@Join[Transpose@m, {data}]

Out[22]= {{1, 2, 3, 2}, {4, 5, 6, 0}, {7, 8, 9, 0}}
