Micah 6 Still Needs Help!
The vegetables grown in the Micah 6 plot, in addition to donations from individual gardener's plots, are delivered to the Micah 6 food pantry located at University Presbyterian Church every Saturday morning. Last year, SCG donated over 3,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce to the food pantry.
Would you like to be involved in this important mission? We have wonderful volunteers who have helped over the years. However, people do leave SSG, and we are in need of someone who can harvest and make a delivery one Saturday a month. We would also welcome volunteers who can fill in especially during the summer months. Don't forget, Micah 6 hours count toward your SCG service hours requirements. Please contact Dana Kuykendall kuykenwil@gmail.com or Mary Gifford mgifford@austin.rr.com if interested.
