GiveBack Gardens
In this land of abundance it’s hard to imagine not having access to good quality food at a reasonable price. However, for millions of people in the U.S., many of whom live in our neighborhoods, food is not taken for granted. Therefore, through the summer we share our harvested vegetables with the Millstadt Food Pantry to be dispersed to those in need of food assistance.
In the spring, GiveBack Home Garden Kits are available with instructions and starter seeds/plants so you can grow vegetables in your own yard/garden.
