Laurie Selpien: Planting seeds of charity

Lake in the Hills woman aims to grow garden for everyone

Give a struggling family groceries, they eat for a week. Teach a struggling family to garden, they eat for life.

That’s the message spread by Laurie Selpien, of Lake in the Hills, who last year headed up an effort by the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Food Pantry to grow produce for their customers.

The effort yielded nearly 4,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, and Selpien thinks they can double that effort this year.
