I made my way over to First Federal Savings Bank on Neil St. this morning because I heard that they were giving away free tomato plants to anyone who walked in the door. At first, it sounded too good to be true, but upon investigation, it turned out to be awesome. You walk in. You get a tomato plant. Simple as that.
It’s rare that such generous promotions exist, and it’s super cool that First Federal is both supporting sustainable food practices and contributing that to the general well-being of the community — all free of charge.
The giveaway is happening today at either the Champaign or Urbana First Federal locations, and only runs until the lobby closes at 5 p.m., so get moving. Free tomatoes await.
Here’s a picture of mine. I’ve named him Winston, and he will grow to be big and strong.
