Tomatoes are a great source of vitamins C and A, and antioxidants. The seeds distributed by the Grateful Bread and food pantries help families in need grow nutritious food to feed hungry children.
Kentucky has fertile soil — also called “Crider soil” — that is ideal for gardening. Home gardens can help feed the 19.4% of nearby residents who live in ongoing hunger.
The initiative to provide gardening seeds to people in need started in the 1980s and helps participants in Martin, Floyd, Johnson, Jackson, McCreary, and Rockcastle counties in Kentucky.
Potatoes are full of good stuff for kids, like carbohydrates for energy and fiber to keep things moving.
Broccoli is one of the favorite vegetables grown in CAP support gardens. It’s a cool-season crop best started in early spring, so it matures before the weather is too hot.
Beans are filled with vitamin K and calcium. They are also a good source of folic acid, which may play a key role in protecting infants in the womb.

Seniors in Appalachia often live in isolated areas with no transportation or access to grocery stores. A garden provides healthy food that may lower the risk of sickness and disease.
Many families in our area don’t have clean water for drinking, bathing, and cooking. Your gifts can help provide dependable access to water to keep people safe.
“Neighbors are supposed to help neighbors, and that’s what I do. The good Lord has always blessed me, and He would want me to help other people.”
