Kristen has always enjoyed raising vegetables in her family’s garden. When she was 10 years old, she knew she had produced more than her family needed, and gave the excess to a local food pantry. She did this in spite of the cruel teasing from her older brother, who had been in and out of prison. He did not understand why she would do this for others.Kristen’s experience with her brother inspired her to take action. She wondered how she might help others understand the importance of giving. Thus, Kristen was inspired to begin a program in the youth detention facilities.She taught juvenile inmates gardening and life skills. The inmates developed pride in their work, and a new attitude with the knowledge that they were capable of producing food for the hungry. Her program has spread throughout the country. Today, this program continues to grow, and the gardens have produces thousands of pounds of produce for those who need it most.
