20 / One Little Cabbage
It began with just one little cabbage. When Katie Stagliano, from South Carolina, was only nine years old, she planted a little cabbage seed in her garden. She watered it every day and watched it grow. Imagine her surprise when that tiny seed grew into a 20-kilogram cabbage! Katie was very proud of the huge cabbage and decided to give it to the local soup kitchen1. That one cabbage became part of dinner for 275 hungry people.
Katie thought, “Wow! With one cabbage, I helped to feed that many people! I could do much more.” So, she made up her mind to do more. She began to grow her own vegetables. Soon her garden was full of fresh vegetables of all kinds, but for Katie, even that wasn’t enough. She wanted a larger garden so she could help more people. She asked her school to help. The school was able to give Katie an area for a vegetable garden as big as a football field2. Katie’s vegetable garden soon became a school project. Students, teachers and parents all worked together in the garden - all taking part in a good cause.
Katie believed that this was an opportunity to help even more people. She started an organization called Katie’s Krops. The purpose3 of this organization was to use community gardens to feed the poor. Because of her organization, people all over the USA started community gardens. Katie’s Krops now has over 60 gardens in 26 different states. Every year this organization donates tons of fresh vegetables to help people in need.
Katie’s Krops doesn’t only develop gardens. Once a month it organizes dinners to feed the hungry. At these dinners, volunteers teach people how to cook vegetables. There is also a Katie’s Krops summer camp. Who could possibly imagine that one little cabbage could make such a big difference?
