I dropped some stuff off at the Salvation Army recently, and I noticed that it was a Giving Garden drop-off site. That means if you have produce from your backyard and you want to share it with people who need it, you can drop it off here. A flyer said that the 6-year total for the program was some 300,000 lbs of fresh produce. It got me thinking about community gardens in Elgin. Why aren't there any? One great site is right across from the Salvation Army.
