What makes a Community Garden grow?
Community, of course.
Support Our 30th Anniversary Campaign!
What is the 30-30-30 Campaign?
The goal is simple:
30 Years. 30 Weeks. $30,000.
With program and staff expansion and the long-term vision of serving as diverse a population as possible comes the need for a major increase in funding.
We are trying to raise $30,000 in 30 weeks!
The Campaign runs for 30 weeks - from the 30th Kickoff in October to the end of May, 2024.
Can you support our diverse, ongoing programming, part-time staff, and yearly operating costs? We encourage gifts in any amount. Larger one-time ($100+) or smaller monthly ($5 or $10) gifts are encouraged and appreciated! Or maybe you can give $30 - or $300! We are appreciative of any donations from our friends and supporters!
