START A VEGETABLE GARDEN

IMPACT RATING
The great thing about home gardening is that it can be done on any scale. If a backyard vegetable plot sounds too intimidating, start with a windowsill herb planter or individual potted plants. Home gardens are versatile, and can be cultivated by anyone with access to a patch of sunlight.
If you produce more than you can use, donate to a food pantry and they will distribute it to those who are food insecure among us.
