Put Your Hands in the Earth!
We need your help! Can you lend a hopeful hand over the next week?
|
| | Spring is here, and there's so much growing at the Growing Hope Center--from hundreds of seedlings in the hoophouse to the installation of our new cisterns.
This is a call to all our  supporters for some time and hard (and fun!) work. We need all hands on deck in the next week to help us get ready for one of Growing Hope's biggest annual events, our Spring Plant Sale, starting Friday, April 30th!
We'll be potting up seedlings in the hoophouse, building raised beds and cleaning up the grounds. Join
us for just a few hours this week--morning, noon, or night! Can you help us out on at least one two-hour shift? It's a great way to show your commitment to the earth & our community!
Saturday, April 24th, 10am-2pm
Monday, April 26th, 9am-5pm
Tuesday, April 27th, 10am-2pm
Wednesday, April 28th, 9am-8pm
Thursday, April 29th, 12-8pm
RSVP now!
We know we wouldn't be able to do half of the work we do if it wasn't for our amazing and dedicated volunteers. Many thanks to all the helping hands who turned out this past week! Special thanks to Dan Carroll, Lewis Chandler, Mitch Cook and Michelle LaBelle, collectively they have volunteered over 30 hours this week!
