Nebraska Community Gardener
“I am a community Gardner. We raise fresh produce that is donated for the Snap-Ed program. Last year we donated 14,000 lbs of produce for the program. One lady told us that she was so thankful for the program, because last year she was searching through dumpsters to get food. Educating the public about healthy eating is part of the program’s purpose. Fresh produce is not only given, but also recipes and How to use the produce Is presented at each weekly giveaway. Without this program, not only would there be no education about food , there would be no fresh produce for many many families.”
