How People Across Hawaii Are Creating Spaces To Grow Their Own Food…Locally grown vegetables are expensive, so communities are coming together to grow fresh produce.
When 15-year-old Hunter Spangler was brainstorming ideas for his Eagle Scout project last fall, he met with Pastor Keith Wolter, who leads the congregation at Christ Lutheran Church in Mililani.
“We were walking around the property and I was telling him how scouts had come by and built fences for us a couple of times,” said Wolter. “But he stopped me and said, ‘Pastor Keith, I don’t want to build a fence. I want to help people.’”
Spangler and Wolter came up with the idea to turn an unused section of the church lawn in front of Wolter’s house into a community garden that would support food banks and local low-income families.
