What do you hope to accomplish through GardenWorks?
Through this project, I hope to eliminate hunger, one garden at a time. Even though we live in an affluent area, many people still go to bed hungry, and many of them are children. Food pantries often have a difficult time obtaining and storing produce, so growing food at home makes fresh, organic produce available to families who can’t normally afford it. I want to help families will grow their own healthy, organic vegetables where they live in ways that are affordable, promote self-reliance, strengthen communities, and protect our natural resources. Anyone who is interested in contributing to or volunteering for the GardenWorks project can visit www.gardenworksdupage.org for more information.
