You're going to do what?

'Why in the world would we tear up a 75x75 plot in the back and plant potatoes and beans and squash?

Did you know that there are kids in Des Moines that go to bed hungry every night? Doesn’t seem right does it? Local groups are banding together to help. Urban Heights and a host of others are planning a Food Pantry Garden. The produce from the garden will be donated to help local families in need. This will be done through existing food pantry programs.

 The garden will be seeking volunteers from the community. We have already extended an invitation to Scouts and their families to be a part. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. It will be a wonderful way for families to work together to give back to their community.

Assisting in the garden will be John Turner , Master Gardener,  Beth Rydberg,volunteer coordination and Linda Gaulter,flowers and herbs.

There will be ways for all to be a part of this project. Join with us to help eradicate childhood hunger in Des Moines by 2015.
