Give her a space of her own in the garden and she will be on board, for sure! And then she can help you cook what she has grown! Thanks, too, for adding Heifer to your list this year. They do amazing work! YankeeScents: You are lucky to have such an enthusiastic daughter! Give her a space of her own in the garden and she will be on board, for sure!

She is an active part of contributing to our local food shelf, and she's very, very looking forward to gardening this summer. I certainly hope she means it, because I'm looking to expand our beds considerably. Very cool about Honduras! We've given to Heifer International in the past... I'll add it to the list for this year.

I love your idea of supporting local businesses that do their part. How do you find out which of your local shops and restaurants are charitable? Do your kids ask, or do you do the research ahead of time? Personally, we love supporting our local grocery store because of their generosity to our school and community.

Fortunately, we live in a community that strives to get kids of all ages involved in feeding the needy. Many of our local organizations & school fundraisers revolve around collecting donations (mostly non-perishable food items) for non-profit agencies and shelters. At home, I like to get our kids involved on a more personal level by donating time or food directly to area shelters, and by teaching them the principals behind sustainable agriculture as well as the value of purchasing locally produced foods. Even when eating out, we try to find and patronize business who donate foods locally as well. The kids really seem to enjoy finding established restaurants who are doing their part to feed the needy as well. Such important issues.
