The sweet pepper plant seeds are planted. I stated in his posting that I would do a head count of how many people this will be affecting - not households. Will post as soon as this is done. Update: Once fully enrolled I anticipate this project to be serving 300 children, women and men to learn how to grow their own vegetables and use them.
We did not receive the grant from United Way. I am not discouraged. These types of funds are hard pressed to reach as many people as they can - and this was a bit off the typical path from what I understand. This makes it more interesting, more satisfying to make it work with no budget. As soon as I have the wish list done, I will be posting so perhaps I can find some help with this.
I am recruiting volunteers for:
- Writing pieces to the Victory Garden Handbook
- People and rototillers to help with new gardens
- Garden Mentors to partner with up to 10 families to support growing success.
- Making phone calls to connect with households
