If you love to dunk your digits in the dirt and want a way to help those in need, take some inspiration from MOGO Hero Katie Stagliano. In 3rd grade Katie grew a 40-pound cabbage in her family's garden and decided to donate it to a local soup kitchen. She fed 275 people.Katie was so excited about helping others that she has created Katie's Krops and now tends six different vegetable gardens, which produce thousands of pounds of produce a year -- all going to feed those in need.
Katie is also working to inspire other kids to adopt her idea, offering grants to young people start a garden in their own communities.
Read more about Katie in this recent story on Tonic.
Check out Katie's organization, Katie's Krops.
