Women's clubs in major cities grew "Victory Gardens" in 1917 and 1918 to provide assistance to C) the efforts in World War I, because towards the years of 1917 and 1918 during the World War I, arised a serious aliments crisis in Europe, because too many people were recruited for the war including the agricultural workers, so due to that, the food decreased and the militars who were fighting and the citizens were hungry, so in March 1917, a weeks before U.S. join the war, Charles Lathrop Pack started a movement promoting the War Gardens in the U.S. (that after the WWI they would name as "Victory Gardens") to animate Americans to help with food supplies the allies who were fighting in the war and also to have their own aliments for their families. So He arranged the National War Garden Commission where the citizens (Majorly women) were urged to use any empty lands and cultivate as much as possible of fruits and vegetables.
