DENVER — The GrowHaus typically serves thousands of people a week with their fresh food distribution. This week, they set up gardens at homes and taught families how to grow their own produce.

Families in Denver's Globeville and Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods have consistently been at a particular disadvantage. The two neighborhoods haven't had a single grocery store in years. On an average week, The GrowHaus serves more than 5,000 people with boxes of fresh produce through their food box program. This week, volunteers were outside the box and in the dirt, building vegetable gardens for families in Globeville-Elyria-Swansea.

Vasquez has three kids, and her family receives food assistance through GrowHaus. They now will have a new garden of produce in her front yard.
