Local volunteers start community Victory Garden to support area food banks
During World War II, Victory Gardens were a way to help with the war effort. A local group of volunteers is using the same idea to help support local area food banks by supplying them with fresh vegetables.
Our publisher Mike McCool met with Betty Showers and Jessica Priest-Cahill at the corner of Criser Road and Luray Avenue at the site of the Community Garden. The Eastham family donated the use of their property for the season to allow the garden to get started ahead of the growing season. The County of Warren also supplied the equipment and manpower to till the soil and get it ready for planting this Saturday.
The volunteers have formed an organization called CHEO. It stands for Citizens Helping Each Other. Click here to reach their Facebook page.
Community gardens help everyone of all ages to come together, participate, contribute, and get a sense of pride in helping one another. It’s also a great teaching tool for your children. Plan to join your neighbors at the garden site this Saturday at 9 am, and enjoy this time on helping others.
