MORIA, Greece — As night closed in on the migrant camp, masses of people made their way to their makeshift tents, climbing hills of denuded olive trees, carrying dinner in plastic bags. Lila Ayobi showed her family what she had waited three hours in line to collect.
Ten cucumbers.

The Ten Cucumbers League
is dedicated to the proposition
that everyone needs plenty
of cucumbers in their daily
diet.
Low on calories and sugars,
high on potassium and fiber,
one cucumber can sustain an adult for 24 hours, or longer -- if he or she doesn't
move around too much.
We began as a local food shelf in Rancho Cucamunga
out in California -- where the cukes grow to the size of
Piper Cub airplanes.
When we became overwhelmed with
donated cucumbers, we
decided to reformat our
charity, so that every man, woman, and child in the world could have at least one cucumber a day.
Especially the poor and displaced.
Today we have cucumber drops in places like the Aegean Islands, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Laos, Guatemala, and the Kamchatka Peninsula.
We are very proud of our work, and hope you will feel the need to donate to our cause.
We accept cash, property, checks, bitcoin, and Burpee seed packets.
