However, nothing has made you prouder than the company's Helping Our Hometown Grow program, in which employees volunteer on company time to help residents in your city start their own vegetable gardens, using tools donated by the company. Nearly 50 employees have participateddirectly helping some 500 families supplement their grocery budgets with home-grown produce.

To save the program. you would have to lay off several employees, but your employees come first.
