Goals

  • To be able to provide produce to our local food pantry.

Overview

The "Full Bellies" garden would provide our local food pantry with fresh and frozen produce throughout the year.  It would also provide volunteer hours for local high school students to fulfill their education requirements.  We have roughly three acres of vacant land that could be developed into a garden for the pantry.  From start to finish, it would allow myself, my husband and others to take place in a project that would help nourish others and bring a sense of pride to our community. 

How will the 5K be Used?
