This summer, the OSU Extension Office, St. Rita's Medical Center, and the Allen County Health Department partnered together to develop a program that addressed the needs of cutting food costs for people who participated in soup kitchens.  The goal was to give every participant their own tomato plant, container, potting mix, fertilizer, - everything that one would need to grow tomatoes in a container.
