The London Police Association announced their donation of 17 hydroponic food towers at My Sisters Place on Dundas Street yesterday.   The towers are capable of producing 30 lbs of fresh fruit and vegetables and will be placed at community hubs, family centers, neighborhood resource centers, agencies like My Sisters Place and libraries across the city of London.  Not only will the towers provide opportunities for fresh food for those in need but also educational opportunities within the community.
