Sixth-grader Katie Stagliano knows how multiply.
She turned a 40-pound cabbage from her garden into part of a meal for 275 people at a Charleston, S.C., soup kitchen. She turned that single experience into Katie's Krops, a nonprofit that has grown thousands of pounds of fresh produce for soup kitchens and other organizations helping people in need.
Katie wants children in other states to grow their own philanthropic gardens.
"It is my dream to have a vegetable garden in every state to feed those in need," she told AOL News. "To make that possible in 2011, I am offering a Katie's Krops grant."
Katie's invited green-thumbed, big-hearted children from 9 to 16 to apply for a gardening grant: up to $400 to start a garden, support from Katie's Krops, and a digital camera to document their adventures in the soil. The winner must donate 100 percent of their produce proceeds to an organization helping to feed hungry people in their community.

As Katie says, "Happy Growing in 2011!"
