I’ve really enjoyed being part of my church’s Giving Garden. It’s out in the country at a member’s home, so about 5 mile drive for me (some folks farther away, some closer). Sometimes I lament the gas/pollution to get there, but then I remind myself that group fun time together at a coffee shop or other hobby get together would cause same.
Over 2 summers we’ve donated more than 2000 pounds of fresh produce to one of the local nonprofits that runs a free food pantry and serves daily free lunches. Granted, much of that poundage is zucchini’s and fall pumpkins. However there’s also a lot of tomatoes and some lighter stuff (lettuce, radishes, green beans). Thankfully we have automated drip irrigation because in CO gardens do need “help” to survive.
