“It all began in third grade, when Katie Stagliano’s 40-pound cabbage fed 275 homeless people. Now, Katie’s six gardens have produced over 4,000 pounds of vegetables to feed the needy. … So Katie started planting vegetable gardens as part of her nonprofit Katie’s Krops. She has six right now — including one the length of a football field at her school in her hometown of Summerville, S.C. Classmates, her family and other people in the community help plant and water, and Bonnie Plants donates seedlings. This past year, Katie took her commitment to a new level, giving soup kitchens over 2,000 pounds of lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables.” (07/21/10)
