2. Urban Farming Project

When: Saturday, October 22, 2016, 10 am to 2 pm 

Where: Marcus Garvey Farm 300 Chester Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

What: Project EATS is an organization devoted to bring fresh organic produce to NYC communities in need, by growing it ourselves! Volunteers will assist with all farming aspects, from composting and weeding, to harvesting and processing crops to building benches and raised beds. All helpers will also have the opportunity to learn from farm staff both informally and through occasional workshops. This project also serves two nearby gardens.

HV on site: Jeremy Rajaballey

Email Jeremy at [log in to unmask] if you are interested in this event! It is first come, first serve!

I urge you all to sign up on Volunteer Connections if you have not signed up yet. We cannot give you your hours if you are not on VC. It just makes the process so much harder for you and for us. 

Best,

Kimberly Nanta
