In this Town Talk, our publisher Mike McCool speaks with Fern Vazquez and Christy Goodwin about the CHEO Community garden and food programs in Warren County. Fern gives us an update on the two gardens that CHEO planted this season and the amount of food that was distributed.

Christy Goodwin who is also the President of the Ministerial Association in Warren County discusses the meal programs and food support in our community.

Special thanks to The Wednesday Group for donating a freezer to help in these food support programs.
