This past Saturday FUN, in partnership
with Food for Others, constructed a vegetable garden consisting of 10 raised beds
and started our first annual vegetable garden at Peace Lutheran Church. FUN
will grow vegetables this season but will surrender the gardens next year
and serve as an overseer for gardening families from Parklawn Elementary
School.
Heartfelt thanks and a
collective hug to all of those who showed up on this beautiful, hot, spring day
and worked so diligently to get everything accomplished. We had over 25
volunteers, including many students from Justice High School, who were driving screws, assembling beds,
installing beds, shoveling 10 cubic
yards of soil, pounding fence posts, and installing fencing.
FUN is so grateful for all
of our volunteers! Believe us as we let you know how much we appreciate your
enthusiasm and genuine dedication. Thank you for your incredible performance,
your time and talents are priceless.
Wholehearted thanks to Food
for Others for providing the lumber, screws, soil, and fencing. Your acts of kindness
may be small but your impact on the community is huge. FUN cannot overstate how
proud and grateful we are to work with you.
To all of those who showed
up and all of those behind the scenes, we thank you for a successful event. Every
drop of your sweat will go towards providing food for those in need, right here
in our own community. All of the food produced in these beds will be donated to
Food for Others, who will distribute it through their food bank / food pantry
systems.
Watch the status of the garden as we post updated pictures on our website!
