submitted: The national, non-profit FoodCorps program (www.foodcorps.org) has placed 2 service members in Louisville to build school gardens at Fair Elementary, Head Start and the Youth Garden near Eiland Middle School. The service members will teach students about gardening, foods and nutrition and help initiate local farm to school efforts.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. Gardening equipment and supplies are not paid for by the program. Please call 662-779-2400 or 662-312-8004 if you have anything on this wish list to donate: wheel barrow, shovels, pitch forks, racks, watering cans, buckets (for watering and/or harvest), paint rollers/ paint brushes, primer, paint, tiller, harvest scale, hoes, planting pots, empty glass jars, trowels, spades, seeds, transplants, compost thermometer. Small, sturdy hand tools suitable for young hands would be especially useful. Money contributions also much appreciated.
Please help us encourage our youth toward healthy, homegrown foods. THANK YOU!
