June Service Saturday – June 8th
On Saturday, June 8th from 9:00 to 11:30 our Service Saturdays group will be volunteering at the Veggie Stand & Community Garden at Fletcher Place Community Center. After the closing of the last neighborhood market, the community around Fletcher Place has become a virtual food dessert, starving local residents of fresh food. The Community Garden brings affordable, accessible, healthy food options and a little outdoor living to the community. Come help us serve this community by harvesting the garden and staffing the Veggie Stand.

What we learned at our January Service Saturday Outreach project:
We learned a great deal about their initiatives and spent a couple of hours helping sort goods, providing general cleaning, and packing “birthday bags” for their clients. We had a great turnout and thankyou to all that were there today!
Outreach is charitable organization that assists young adults (14-25) that are homeless. They provide a safe and welcoming environment for their clients and help them get on their feet. Last year they helped 767 people get ID’s, medications, insurance, clothing, food, do laundry, etc. They are typically in need of clothing, men’s underwear, young adult books, board games, and Tide pods. A full list of needs is listed on their website. Outreach also serves 2 meals a day for their clients. If you have a group that would like to assist with Friday lunches, they typically have a need.
