Kudos to this food bank for realizing before it’s too late that we as a country have a problem and it is going to get worse before it gets better. Some food banks are already feeling the squeeze of not having nearly enough food to keep going. They are running out of food, they are running out of help and they are running out of time. At the same time, with the economy the way that it is, more and more people are in need of food and turning to food banks for help. Luckily, the workers at this food bank used their heads and figured out that if they started growing their own food, they could help more and more people and not have to count solely on donations and government funding. By growing their own food to distribute, they are not only saving money and increasing the number of people that they can help but they are also offering natural, organic food grown themselves which is a much healthier alternative for everyone. Looks like a win/win to me!
