June E-Newsletter

We are fortunate to live in an area with so much fresh produce available in the summer month! We are compiling a list of local farms and roadside stands to help promote the growers and a resource for the community looking to shop and eat locally. As the summer progresses, we will partner with the Human Services department in the town of Richmond to get fresh produce to those without the means to get it themselves. We'd love your participation if you are a backyard grower and have extra veggies or eggs you'd like to donate. Please complete the form and scroll down to the Growers Give Back section.

 

Email Amy@charihoyouth.org with any questions!
