Read the following news report excerpt, then answer the question. --- TORONTO — A new community garden initiative launched by the City of Toronto last spring has already transformed three vacant lots into thriving green spaces. The program, called Grow Together, invites residents to tend individual plots and share a portion of their harvest with local food banks. According to program coordinator Lisa Chen, over 250 families registered in the first month alone. 'We were overwhelmed by the response,' Chen said. 'People want to connect with their neighbours and with the land.' Critics of the program argue that the vacant lots could be better used for affordable housing. City Councillor Brian Okafor disagrees. 'We need green space as much as we need housing,' he said. 'These gardens are improving mental health and food security at the same time.' The city plans to expand Grow Together to five additional locations by next year. --- What is the MAIN purpose of this news report?
