~A NEW Food Growing Program for the
County of Santa Barbara Food
Bank
- This program is designed to empower some of the 1 in 4
people across the County of Santa Barbara the Food Bank serves, to take a
new perspective on their role in the food system. Growing some of your
own food not only provides a healthy addition to your diet, it gets you
out of the role of a passive consumer and gets you thinking about what
else is possible.
