October is Tackling Hunger Action Month, and the LSU AgCenter is doing its part to help on the Northshore.
The AgCenter and its community partners recently installed a “blessing box” — similar to a little free library but stocked with staple foods instead of books — in an area of Covington with a high rate of food-insecure households. The items in the blessing box supplement the fresh produce that is available to residents at a nearby community garden.
