ELKHART, Ind. (AP) - A grassroots group that runs a food pantry for those in need is beginning to harvest crops its members planted in the fields of northern Indiana farmers.
The Elkhart Truth reports volunteers for Church Community Services last week harvested 5,200 pounds of potatoes through its Seed to Feed program started earlier this year. This week volunteers plan on picking about 500 pounds of tomatoes at a field in Goshen.
Rod Roberson, the agency's executive director, says because the program has exceeded expectations, food from the fields has already been distributed to other area pantries and hot meal sites. Roberson says Church Community Services also will benefit from the sale of soybeans and feed corn. Money from those sales will be used to buy food.
