MILLBURY - Visitors to the Lake Township Food Pantry and monthly giveaway may be able to pick up cereal, bread and soup on a regular basis. But in-season, fresh fruits and vegetables are hard to come by.
Not anymore.
Two area women are planting a "compassion garden" on property donated by the Lake Township Trustees on Lemoyne Road. The trustees approved the donation at last week's meeting.
"We just want to do something for the community," said Melanie Lutman, who is heading up the project with Kimberly Boos.
The food pantry, which is open once a month at the Walbridge fire station, helps 120 people regularly.
"They should be able to come in and get healthy food for their kids," Lutman said.
She added that usually it is cheaper and more convenient to pick up a burger and fries, than fresh fruits and vegetables.
"It is easier to eat fast food than go buy some vegetables."
