A big thanks to the United Way DIRT volunteers that spent their lunch hour helping out at the Common Ground–Eat Local, Live Global community garden / training ground.  Thanks for your help, dirty people ….we appreciate you.

It’s energizing to see the new life beginning on site (Mackenzie + Steve, you are amazing!).  The community garden / small farm will be a further extension of our job-training program–a place to practice customer service skills, order packaging, agriculture basics, equipment and maintenance, and mostly, a platform for our international friends to plug into the community, develop friendships, and use the language + job skills they are gaining.  

I’m continually humbled by all the community is doing to make this happen….come and get involved!
