Grow-A-Patch is initiated to teach and support groups and churches to grow veggies and donate the produce to soup kitchens, food banks, and feeding stations to supplement the diets of low income families.

The Lincoln Trail Area Master Gardeners with the inspiration of the Horticulture Agent have contacted six local churches to be the inaugural group to grow food to donate to the local soup kitchen and food bank.  The groups will build their own raised beds, plant donated seeds and plants (some supplied by the Master Gardeners), harvest and deliver the produce.  

Planting is set to start in July.
