The McKinley Giving Garden, located outside Presby Hall, turns a campus plot into a source of fresh produce for Garden Hills Food Pantry and local residents without reliable access to it. Supported by community organizations and student volunteers, the garden grows crops based on pantry needs, with surplus sent to food banks. Its expanding volunteer effort shows how urban agriculture can address food insecurity close to home.
