Comment of the Week on Affton Patch

Patch is about community conversation, and we want to thank this special Patcher for his comment supporting a local charity.

Every once in a while, Affton-Shrewsbury Patch likes to highlight a commenter for taking part in our online conversation. This week, we thank Chris P for his comment on Plant an Extra Row, a blog from the Affton Christian Food Pantry asking gardeners to consider planting extra produce this year and donating it to the pantry. "This is a great idea - how does one donate fresh produce to the pantry? Just bring it by?" commented under the story. Way to go, Chris! In case you're curious, the pantry does receive donations three mornings and two evenings each week. Find exact times on the website: http://afftonchristianfoodpantry.com/donate
