BATON ROUGE, LA— the SU Ag Center collected winter
coats for needy youth in the community. The majority of the coats were
distributed on December 12, 2012 at From
the Bottom to the Top Community
Garden on E. Washington Street, Baton Rouge. Stephanie Elwood, Extension
Associate for Community Gardens teaches youth healthy lifestyles through
gardening at the community garden. The coats went to youth that participate in
community gardens in South Baton Rouge.

“Special thanks to all who donated coats as well as Bridget Udoh, Communications Specialist; Angela Jackson, Administrative Assistant; and Zanetta
Augustine, Research Associate, for assisting with the coat distribution,” says Elwood.
We are still entertaining monetary donations to
cover the cost of coats for the few youth that we did not have their sizes.
