Teen Noticed Local Charities Don’t Have Fresh Produce, Grows Over 7000 Pounds Of It

Growing up, we all heard about the importance of eating our vegetables if we want to grow up big and strong and avoid getting scurvy. Sadly, not everyone can afford to eat nutritious food, let alone a big bowl of locally sourced produce. Iowa teen Lauren Schroeder noticed the lack of veggies while volunteering and decided to change that – this year she grew over 7000 pounds of vegetables to donate to families in need. Kids these days!
