It's called "gardening for groceries"; an idea a woman south of Ottawa had to help food banks in need because one had been there for her when she needed it most.

It is something she had little of 14 months ago, when high hydro and propane bills forced her to turn to the local food bank, the House of Lazarus in Mountain, where she worked. ‘I don’t want to be in this position in my life,’ a tearful Johansen told CTV Ottawa at the time, ‘I'm 40 years old, I've worked hard.’ via Former food bank user starts community garden for food bank | CTV Ottawa News.
