RHS Students grow food for food pantry over summer

RHS-Summer
Some of the Ragsdale High School students who participated in the Classroom to Food Pantry Pipeline during the school year have volunteered to continue growing food over the summer delivering what they harvest to Renaissance Road Church’s Food Bank.

The students took home one of the portable gardens from class and were offered a “sharecropping” option where they can give half the micro greens to the food bank and keep the rest.  The participating students elected to give all the food grown to the food bank every four weeks until school returned.
