| Impact Report | VEGETABLE GARDEN FOR DONATION TO FOOD BANKS Master Gardeners in Sandoval County teamed up with a landowner in Corrales to raise vegetables. The purpose was to grow proudce for donating to food banks in Sandoval County. They have so far donated 1,200 pounds of tomatoes, 500 p0ounds of green beans, and a ton of other vegetables. Recipients are Storehouse West and St. Felix Pantry. Sister Edna said the garden has helped fill a much needed gap. She said there has been an increase in demand for the pantry mostly from people who have lost their jobs recently. Often she says the pantry does not have much to offer when it comes to fresh vegetables so people anticipate delivery of the fresh Corrales crop. Vegetables tend to be expensive and it's something many cannot afford. |
