USA: Community garden for people in need
Gardening activities to provide healthy food to housing insecure persons.
Gardening is not only good for one’s health but is also a means to have access to healthy and fresh products.
In the USA, near Chicago, dedicated Givaudan volunteers engage in gardening activities. They plant, maintain, and harvest a diverse range of vegetables in a garden located at their site's entrance. This initiative aims to support homeless and housing-insecure individuals in the local community..
The harvested vegetables are generously donated on a weekly basis to a nearby welfare association. This association works to provide assistance and support to those in need. By receiving these donated products, the association's chef is able to create a wide variety of healthy and delicious recipes. Some examples include rice and beans, kale and chicken, and Japanese cucumber salad.
