You Go Dan !
There is nothing more rewarding feeding hungry children and teaching them to 
garden and to feed themselves.
Give them help Dan. Here we have arranged to have the Gardeners  take their 
excess fruit and vegetables to the Fire Station 24 /7 and they get them to 
the Food Bank. Right now the big Fruit and Vegetable Growers Symposium is on 
at BrockUniversity and we have a Plant A Row Grow A Row booth there. Each 
year More and More Growers are Supplying some of their excess to their local 
Food Banks. The response at this show is very heart warming. Bruce
