Planting the Seeds for a New Garden

I learned what I think most of us already know — that cancer is a horrible disease. Cancer takes a toll financially on patients and their families. Often caregivers are forced to give up their jobs to care for their loved ones. The financial burdens of the disease can be overwhelming and, as a result, families battling cancer sometimes struggle to put food on their tables. When you are fighting any disease or caring for someone in the fight of their life, proper nutrition is of the utmost importance.

That is when I put the pieces of the puzzle together: Katie's Krops would start a vegetable garden to provide cancer patients and their families with healthy, fresh produce.

Katie’s Krops mission is to grow vegetable gardens to feed people in need, and I can see no greater need than growing produce to provide nutritious fruits and vegetables to cancer patients and their families. In 2012, I will start a Katie’s Krops garden dedicated to feeding people who are fighting cancer. The harvest will provide patients with healthy produce, and it will be a tribute to honor those who are battling this terrible disease and those who have passed because of cancer.

We are now trying to locate an area to plant our garden in Boston. If you have a suggestion, have land we can borrow or would like to help make our first Katie's Krops Garden dedicated to cancer patients a reality please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We are thrilled to announce that in 2012 Katie's Krops will be hosting monthly dinner for anyone in need of a hot & healthy meal on the 3rd Thursday of every month. The dinners will be held at Summerville Baptist Church in the Fellowship Hall. Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. To go meals are available on request. All dinners will be based on what is available to harvest in the Katie's Krops gardens. Families are encouraged to come. There are activities for children and all dinners are healthy & made with love by the Katie's Krops crew. If you have questions about the dinners, would like to volunteer or would like to make a donation to continue to make these dinners possible please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
