How can foodies give back on today,Patriot;s Day and for the rest of the season.There are several ways actually. There's a lot we can do to help others in need.To be honest it actually is fun and feels less like an obligation.
Home farmers and gardeners can help by giving their bumper crops to the local food pantry. So many families need fresh fruit and veggies , especially if they have kids. If you have extra tomatoes or lettuce don;t think twice about donating them. If your fruit tree has more than enough for you, then send the extra over.Do it with family, friends and neighbors for a bigger yield and more variety too.If you;re good at canning and cooking, then send over homemade jam along with home cooked sauce . These will be greatly appreciated,
If your church or local community pantry allows home made baked goods then definitely bake for them.If you want , make two or three loaves along with your own. Bake large cookies or even a few batches of muffins or cup cakes. Doing this not only makes you feel good but also hones your baking skills as well. (along with your decorating skills). If you know of a needy child that wants a birthday party, then donate your time and effort to bake a birthday cake .along with festive treats.
Foodies can conribute and help others in the best way we can - with food. We can nourish the body with healthy fruits and vegetables. We can nourish the soul with that good gesture. We can be open as our gardens and as warm as our ovens,
