Want to make a difference for the world? Feed the hungry - both your family -
and the hungry in your community. Grow your own organic, chemical-free
vegetables and encourage your neighbors to do so too. Need more space to grow
veggies? Perhaps you could use your front lawn; mixing perennials and vegetables together to create a modern
Victory Garden .

says, that "according to one out of six Americans experiences food insecurity
today, there is a more than an adequate supply of food potentially available.
However, according to the US
Department of Agriculture , we throw away a pound of food per person per day
in this country, or well over 100 billion pounds of food per year. Some estimate
this to be more than enough to totally eliminate hunger in America."
