2013 harvest/donation summary
Congratulations fellow gardeners!! In 2013 the Intel
DuPont Community Garden members harvested an amazing 5686 pounds of food, a new
record. 4900 pounds of that (86%) was donated to the Lakewood FISH
food bank and in Thurston County food bank. Those food banks have seen a
sharp increase in clients in recent years, and are very appreciative of the
fresh produce we are able to donate. Our top crops (see
sidebar table for details) were Tomatoes, Carrots, and Lettuce.
These are very popular with food-bank clients, and they graciously enjoy all
that we can produce for them.
