What is ?

Right now in the US, it is estimated that over 36 million people suffer from hunger. That's 1 in 8 of us! However, our communities have the ability and resources to feed our neighbors who are without.

The Garden describes the collective efforts of the Cobblestone Project to feed our hungry neighbors.  However, this program began from the vision of Rick & Cindy Boosey, owners of World Garden, to use their local restaurant to provide 5,000 meals a week to the hungry in Northwest Arkansas.  The Cobblestone Project is joining them in their pursuit of feeding the hungry.
