Thank you for all of your support of GardenShare this past year.
Your gifts of time, talent, and treasure helped make all this and more possible:
- A 70% increase in SNAP use at our farmers markets means low-income people ate healthier and the funds supported our local farmers.
- This growing season, 39 households received a subsidy to purchase a CSA share, compared to 25 last year.
- Continued promotion of local food and farmers through the Local Food Guide (which included 51 area farmers) and participation in the County Local Foods Committee.
- "Hunger 101," a poverty simulation workshop was rolled out to raise awareness of the problem of hunger in the area.
With the recent addition of a Volunteer Coordinator and an Americorps VISTA to our team, we are looking ahead to even bigger things next year.
Thank you for being part of this important work!
