Project FoodStock launched Project FoodPatch in 2009 as part of its ongoing
effort to "engage and mobilize the people of our community to feed the hungry."
We are planting the FoodPatch garden again this summer! Joe Miller of
Country Joe Homes is partnering
with us again by providing a large garden plot near Dodd and Cedar Avenue in Lakeville. We will be
planting a vegetable and fruit garden so that we can give the fresh produce to
those in need. It continues to be an ideal space and we will be building on last year's success.
It is up to us to plant, label, nurture, weed, harvest and distribute the food to local food shelves.
If you have the time or interest or if you happen to have one thumb that is green,
please consider helping us make this a successful and meaningful project.
As with all Project FoodStock initiatives this will depend entirely upon volunteers like you.
We hope you will choose to volunteer once or more and maybe even be put on a
regular schedule. Whatever help you can provide will be appreciated and will support
the ongoing work of eliminating hunger in our communities. We also invite volunteers
at the garden to enjoy some of the fruits of their labor and take some produce home.
Read about some of our volunteers' garden stories.
We will have some tools but if you have a spade, weeder, garden gloves, etc. please bring them for the time you are there.
