Due to the rain this week, we have to reschedule many of our GIFT Garden installations for next week! So we will be extra busy next week installing raised bed veggie gardens for low-income residents, a facility that provides services to disabled adults, and a local church that will be growing food to feed the homeless in our community. And we can’t provide this service without the gracious help of our wonderful volunteers! In these coming weeks, we need your help more than ever as we have lost almost all of the wonderful students who have been volunteering with us the past few months.
Below is a our schedule for the week of May 25-29, 2009
***As always, please e-mail me back to let me know if you can volunteer on one or more of following days so that I can provide you with more details, update our schedule of volunteers and let GIFT Gardens Coordinators (Lewis and/or Denise) know you will be coming.
