year, helping feed more
than 4000 people a month through an emergency food pantry.

greening, backyard food gardening and food pantry agriculture projects.
It is a constant reminder to residents that better nutrition and healthy
eating are within our grasp.Now, though, the farm is threatened by
development. Watch the video and learn how you can help preserve
