It's no secret that food pantries all over the country are struggling right now. As the economy falters, soup kitchens, shelters, and other under-the-safety-net entities are getting fewer donations and more clients every day. But... If we were to collectively donate ten percent of our harvest to our nearest food banks, soup kitchens, or other appropriate organizations, think of all the positive benefits.

Comment by Katrien on February 27, 2009 at 6:47pm - This is a great challenge. As a total novice I just know I am going to grow too much food - just to see, try this and that, and to try out our land - and I know the soup kitchen and food pantries in my town need fresh produce. I also need all the gardening advice I can get, and find massive discussion forums overwhelming and not very personable. Thanks for organizing me. I'm in.
