Victory Garden Initiative

The kids at Fratney Elementary have been hard at work learning about where food comes from, farming and gardening, all while being creative! They painted a rain barrel and painted a garden snake named "Rocky." We're so proud of our creative kiddos!

We are hiring! We are looking for a creative and independent leader to fill our Volunteer Programs Coordinator position. See how to apply on our website or on indeed.
