Each week we like to feature a Donor Spotlight. This week's spotlight shines on Athena Johnson. Athena has graciously donated several pounds of fresh produce from her garden to the Pantry multiple times over the past couple of years.
According to Athena, "We’re very happy to donate to the pantry and glad that you’ve been able to make use of our veggies!”
“I began my gardening adventure a few years ago with a small plot at the New Albany Community Garden. My enjoyment and interest in growing my own food for my family continued to expand. Last year I was given the opportunity to use a piece of land which was graciously provided by the New Albany Motorplex. With a large and bountiful garden, I’m able to grow an abundance of healthy, organic vegetables to preserve for use throughout the year, with plenty of extra produce to share with others in the community."
Here at the Pantry, it is our goal to provide healthy, nutritious foods to our clients and you’ve helped make that possible. Thank you for your donations, Athena! Keep up the great work on the garden.
