The Heart of Texas Urban Gardening Coalition (UGC) works to solve hunger issues in McLennan County through their community garden located near Baylor University. On May 9th, UGC will host their first annual Roots Day event to raise awareness about senior hunger and provide tools to decrease food insecurity among seniors. UGC was able to organize Roots Day after their partner, the Baylor University Campus Kitchen, received a grant. UGC hopes events like Roots Day and their Junior Master Gardener Training program will educate community members of all ages on the importance of gardening and growing one's own healthy food.
