Especially the North Lake Presbryterian Church in TV who operates the Operation Homebound program where the year-round garden food is donated.

The Operation Homebound, according to the church website, prepares, packages and delivers food to homebound low income people. I assume it is like the Meals on Wheels program where I'm from. The church also operates a soup kitchen in Wildwood where the volunteer garden food goes as well!

I'm sure these aren't the only great groups in the area. But certainly was nice to hear about this one. Thank you Allen. B.K.
B.K.,

You're welcome... I just tried the link and it worked for me, but was a bit slow to show up.

I wish I could provide more info about this, but I live in PA and that's all I was able to find at a distance. As I said earlier, there was an article in the Daily Sun about it dated March 29, 2010. I found it online. If someone in TV has an interest, perhaps they can follow up on this.
