Hi Interfaith Gardeners,
Our wonderful Interfaith Garden is thriving this summer and producing corn, onions, cucumbers, green beans, herbs, and flowers for the Food Pantry. With Carla’s incredible gardening skills and knowledge, volunteers have been learning how to grow vegetables organically and getting their hands dirty for a good cause. On the overall, everything is going well!
But I need to ask for your renewed commitment to the Interfaith Garden. As liaisons, please look ahead to the schedule and find volunteers from your faith community to work on the days you are assigned. We now have two work days a week – Tuesdays and Saturdays (occasional Sundays) and we need to use that valuable time to harvest, weed, and maintain our Garden. If you can’t find people from your faith community to volunteer – don’t sweat it – but follow through by emailing the volunteer sub list: gardenvolunteers@googlegroups.com because many of them are eager to volunteer.
The hope of the Interfaith Garden is to have the opportunity to meet people of different faiths and have a chance to work alongside of them. Let’s help to make that a reality by following through on finding volunteers from our
faith communities for the weeks we are assigned.
