If you have space, and have the urge, plant a few extra vegetables.
We plant all we can cram into our vegetable beds, and take the extras to the local food pantry. Check with your local soup kitchen or food pantry to see if they can accept fresh produce from family gardens--local laws vary.
Believe me, going into the food pantry with a basket or two of fresh vegetables to share gives you a lot of happiness, and the recipients are happy, too. It doesn't really matter how much you have to donate, whatever amount you have helps a family, an elderly person, a handicapped person.
Sharing is one of the best parts of gardening!

Well said mg. The new world order refuses to take care of our down and out anymore, so it's up to us to help in any way we can.

I agree, planting a little extra to help some one else is always a good idea. I think I will be using that space I was going to put sunflowers in for food instead.
