DoomsdaysCW<p>Consider planting an extra row for the hungry in your garden this spring</p><p>If you’re going to plant fruits, vegetables or herbs this spring, why not grow some extra for your local soup kitchen or pantry?</p><p>By JESSICA DAMIANO, March 18, 2025</p><p>"If you’re gearing up to plant fruits, vegetables or herbs this spring, why not grow some extra to donate to your local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoupKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoupKitchen</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodPantry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodPantry</span></a>?</p><p>"The national <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlantARowForTheHungry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlantARowForTheHungry</span></a> campaign, launched in 1995, has been encouraging home and community gardeners to do just that every year to help feed neighbors in need of fresh food.</p><p>"The program was spearheaded in 1995 by Anchorage Daily News garden columnist Jeff Lowenfels, who wrote a column encouraging his readers to plant extra crops and donate their harvests.</p><p>"After seeing the impact that his column had on local food donations, Lowenfels partnered with GardenComm International, then known as Garden Writers of America, to enlist garden columnists all over the country to promote the cause in their own communities. Since then, more than 20 million pounds of produce, providing more than 80 million meals, have been donated through the campaign by home gardeners.</p><p>"'All of this has been achieved without government subsidy or bureaucratic red tape — just people helping people,' according to organizers on the campaign’s website.

DoomsdaysCW<p>With less funding and more hunger, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DentonTX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DentonTX</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGarden</span></a> still wants to grow and feed more</p><p> By Lucinda Breeding-Gonzales Staff Writer Mar 14, 2025</p><p>"Friends of Shiloh Field Community Garden always plans to harvest more crops for its local partner <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodPantries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodPantries</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HomelessShelters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomelessShelters</span></a>. This year, the community garden’s board chair said the volunteer-run farm expects more people to need the food they grow.</p><p>"'Every year we try to outdo ourselves,' said Christina Proctor, the chair of the board for Friends of Shiloh Garden, the nonprofit that operates the community garden. 'We always anticipate making more than we did the last year. Talking to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodBanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodBanks</span></a> and they tell us every year that we have increased the number of requests for food for us. Ever since 2020, it just keeps going up.'</p><p>"Food banks across the country saw both hunger and food insecurity spike when the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered businesses and closed offices, shedding workers and leaving families without paychecks. Inflation and rising costs have kept some families strapped and struggling to feed their families. And as North Texas has grown, problems such as hunger, homelessness and food insecurity have grown with it.</p><p>"The immediate future for hungry Texans of all ages looks grim. But recent cuts are affecting children greatly. The School Nutrition Association reported Monday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USDA</span></a>] announced it would cut the $660 million <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LocalFoodForSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalFoodForSchools</span></a> program for 2025.</p><p>"Politico, citing a spokesperson for the USDA, reported that the department also cut the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program. The program would have funded about $500 million this year to support food banks.</p><p>"For the second year in a row, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission opted not to participate in the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EBT</span></a>] program, which would have paid $120 per eligible child for families already receiving food benefits through the summer months.</p><p>"The program is meant to fill the gap left when public schools are on summer break, and children who qualify for free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch are vulnerable to greater food insecurity. The commission opted out of the program when the state Legislature didn’t move to allocate the money needed to get the program up and running on Monday.</p><p>"Denton residents learned this week that Lovepacs Denton, a nonprofit that gives food to Denton ISD students to get them through school breaks and long weekends, will close after the school year ends in May.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Austerity</span></a> is impacting state and local assistance services all at once. Celia Cole, the CEO of Feeding Texas, said that cuts to programs like this not only put more Texans at risk for hunger, but they also reduce stimulus spending that benefits the state’s farms. Feeding Texas is a network of 20 food banks that feed hungry Texans and advocates for policies that prevent hunger. Cole said the Summer EBT funding could have fed Texas children and teenagers last year.</p><p>"'The first opportunity that Texas had to run the program would have been in summer of 2024, and we missed out on it because, I think really more than anything, was that Texas Health and Human Services Commission ... had so much else on their plate with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicaid</span></a> unwinding,' Cole said. 'They were facing really serious backlogs and getting people enrolled in Medicaid.'</p><p>"Then, as the deadline for summer of 2025 got nearer, Cole said, it became clear that the commission would need money from the state to administer the program. Monday was the deadline for the Legislature to allocate the funds. Cole said programs like Feeding Texas will have to stretch their resources and be strategic with funding and food.</p><p>"For Denton nonprofits, leaders are preparing to do the same. The Friends of Shiloh Garden is keeping close tabs on costs. Proctor said seeds aren’t as costly as donors might think, but over the last two summers, water costs have soared.</p><p>"'Our biggest expense in production is water,' she said. 'We’ve been very blessed that Denton Bible Church has been helping us subsidize our water bill by giving us some money to help offset that cost.'</p><p>"In 2023, when Denton saw about 55 days of triple-digit heat, Proctor said water costs were almost too much.</p><p>"'That was the year we almost had too close because it was just so expensive,' Proctor said. 'Our water bills that year were just ridiculous.'</p><p>"The operation installed drip irrigation and weed cloth to cover the drip lines and saw savings. But the nonprofit is still looking to serve more people and give its partners more of what they want."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://dentonrc.com/news/local/with-less-funding-and-more-hunger-a-denton-community-garden-preps-to-feed-more-here/article_af069008-00ec-11f0-9ad9-4b23e88d5c9e.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dentonrc.com/news/local/with-l</span><span class="invisible">ess-funding-and-more-hunger-a-denton-community-garden-preps-to-feed-more-here/article_af069008-00ec-11f0-9ad9-4b23e88d5c9e.html</span></a></p><p>To support the community garden, www.shilohfield.com for donation and volunteer information.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGardens</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USDAFundingCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USDAFundingCuts</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodInsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodInsecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BadDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BadDOGE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hunger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hunger</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeHeat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeHeat</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGardens</span></a> help fill the gap with rising grocery costs</p><p>by Carlee Bronkema Mar 10, 2025 </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SpringfieldIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpringfieldIL</span></a> - "When grocery bills start climbing, fresh fruits and vegetables are often the first to go. But community gardens in Springfield are hoping to help fill the gap, and provide healthy choices for the community. </p><p>"'We not only have the produce available, but produce of a quality that really makes us proud,' said Yves Doumen, Founder and Director of Motherland Gardens Community Project. 'We started this as a response to food insecurity during COVID... we really have a lot of issues with food supply in the community where we are.'</p><p>"Motherland has already started growing several varieties of vegetables, using a green house on the property. They have an area with personal plots, where community members can 'rent' a bed to grow plants in. They also have communal plots, where they grow the food they provide to community members. </p><p>"The Enos Park community Gardens also provides a similar service in Springfield. They have a mix of both communal and personal plots in their garden space. Manager Carey Smith says they have a large waitlist for their personal plots, and believes it could be due to the cost of fresh produce in the store. </p><p>"'In our neighborhood we have an expensive grocery store so a lot of people do shop for their groceries at the dollar store, which is not ideal,' said Smith. 'To be able to supplement with fruits and vegetables from out garden is really helpful. We also see people who come from the hospital who are told to change their diets immediately and they go to the grocery store and can't afford that.'</p><p>"In 2024, the Enos Park has 2,300 visitor and volunteer engagements. They provide their produce to their volunteers, a food pantry and a community center. They also host few farmer's markets on Saturdays once summer produce starts kicking in. </p><p>"Smith and Doumen both say they think demand will increase in coming months due to tariffs, rising costs, and the end of food-related aid programs. </p><p>"Motherland starts providing produce at the end of June twice a week. As more plants start to grow, they will provide food to whoever stops by when it is available. They also hold events to educate community members about growing their own food, cooking with local produce, and handing out surplus supplies."</p><p><a href="https://www.wandtv.com/community/community-gardens-help-fill-the-gap-with-rising-grocery-costs/article_9196419c-fdf6-11ef-a2c5-ab4569311f0f.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wandtv.com/community/community</span><span class="invisible">-gardens-help-fill-the-gap-with-rising-grocery-costs/article_9196419c-fdf6-11ef-a2c5-ab4569311f0f.html</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuildingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGardens</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a></p>
