🌬️ The wind may be blowing 20 to 30 mph today, but that isn't stopping us.

Our incredible farmhand, Martha, is out in the gardens planting the seeds that will help feed our community this season.

Thank you, Martha, for braving the wind and helping grow a healthier, more food-secure community. 👏

🚗 Volunteer Drivers Needed

We are looking for a few volunteer drivers on Thursday mornings through August 6 to help deliver weekend food bags to our partner sites around Gillette.

🕘 Deliveries start at 9:00 AM and should take no more than an hour
📍 Routes are local (around Gillette)
📦 Volunteers will need a vehicle large enough to comfortably fit a few totes

This is a simple but meaningful way to help ensure kids have food going into the weekend this summer break. Every delivery makes a huge difference!
