Letter: Thank you for helping our community food program

Coverage of Plant a Row-Grow a Row in Burnaby and New West was exactly what we needed to explain our program to the community and gain more support in helping us feed people.

Editor,

Our sincere thanks for the help by Theresa McManus and the Record newspaper provided with the great news article about Plant a Row-Grow a Row, our mission and community food program!

It was exactly what we needed to explain our program to the community and gain more support in helping us feed people. We give away plants, garden gifts and encourage gardeners to grow the vegetable plants and then, in turn, give some of the food back for donation.

Your detailed article provided great coverage and details about our Sunday May 1, Drive-by event, and our Plant a Row-Grow a Row season that starts June 12 until October 2. Thanks once again for helping us spread the word about Plant a Row-Grow a Row and sharing within our community some home grown veggies from the garden.

Lots of best wishes from everyone at Plant a Row-Grow a Row. Please join the fun and come by on Sundays, 8:30- 9:15am, June 12 to October 2, at St Thomas More, 7450 - 12th Avenue, Burnaby, at the school front entrance. Thanks once again!

Claude LeDoux, Andrea Buonassisi, John Spanjers and volunteers
