I read about this project a few weeks back, but the ground breaking occurred the other day for the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn of the White House. The project is going to be a project of about a dozen students, and all the food that it generates will be prepared by the White House Kitchen and then distributed to a local homeless shelter.
Some critics will see this as yet another handout, but to me it demonstrates yet another new beginning of a White House that cares. I’m not sure why this made me feel so proud, but it did.
