The Salvation Army along with partner agencies are fighting hunger in North Carolina with the initiative called, Bucket Brigade.
This is a unique program for families to grow their own portable ‘Grow Buckets while learning how to grow vegetables themselves. This can even help families stretch their grocery budgets.
From budding young planters to seasoned master gardeners, attendees learn both the basics and finer techniques to make their gardens grow.
Many low-income households usually do not have a big yard to grow things, but they do have a patio or a front porch where they can place their buckets in the sunlight and keep the plants properly hydrated and tended.
Everything is free for participants, thanks to a state grant given to The Salvation Army.
Master gardeners are trained to do public outreach and to teach budding gardeners the basics.
Also at these events, cooking demonstrations complete the food production cycle, deemed “From the ground to the table.”
