The Nutrition Education Program (NEP) team installed a Growing Together Nebraska garden at the Lancaster County Extension office. Funding was provided by a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program–Education (SNAP–Ed) grant to increase healthy food access by growing and donating fresh produce to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Extension Master Gardeners and horticulture staff provided expertise and hands-on assistance. 355 total pounds of produce were harvested and donated to two local food pantries. Nutrition education, recipes and produce samples were offered to food recipients.
