Basin's Backyard Gardeners came through this week with 115.4 pounds of fresh, local fruits and vegetables to donate to local food pantries.
In fact, the donation was split between two organizations: Salvation Army and Welcome House.
Jessica Moser, Basin Electric member revenue specialist II and veggie taxi driver, did the heavy lifting. "The Welcome House has a couple families at this time so they didn’t need a lot of vegetables," she says. "The residents were excited about the sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, and watermelon donations."
Moser found a home for the food. "The Salvation Army had a shelf set up with food for people to come in and grab, but there wasn’t much food available when I first got there, so It was nice to be able to add to their shelves," she says.
So far in 2022, Basin's Backyard Garden #Homegrown volunteers have donated and delivered more than 650 pounds of fresh, local food to those who need it most in Bismarck and Mandan, North Dakota.
