title	Souperservice Kids
description	The students grow and harvest vegetables that will eventually be used to feed the hungry of the community. During the unit, students will grow in an awareness of healthy foods that are necessary for everyone. They will be introduced to the concepts of hunger and homelessness, which leads to the desire to help out in a small way. They will learn about how foods are processed and stored for later and for sharing with others. They will assemble jars of dried soup mixture and distribute the jars of soup to individuals eating at a local soup kitchen. The project is designed to involve the students' parents/caregivers.
