UPDATE - Project FoodStock would like to send a huge "THANK YOU" to Paul Danner of Danner Plumbing and Restoration for generously volunteering his time and resources to fix the watering sysem at the garden. Until now, we have been hauling 5-gallon jugs of water to the site.

Project FoodStock has launched Project FoodPatch as part of its ongoing effort to "engage and mobilize the people of our community to feed the hungry." We are planting a garden! Joe Miller of Country Joe Homes is partnering with us 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 is an ideal space and already has strawberries, rasberries, and fruit trees in place. Joe Miller will have the garden tilled but it is up to us to plant, label, nurture, weed, and harvest the food.

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.

If you are interested in participating please contact Shari Prest at sprest@arkassoc.com or call 952-469-1916.

You are needed.

We will have some tools but if you have a spade, weeder, garden gloves, etc. please bring them for the time you are there.
