Hello Donors and Friends,
Despite the snowfall, we know spring is fast approaching. We are excited to announce we are launching 3 new neighborhoods: Miller St in lakewood, 40 west arts district, and Dam East in Aurora. If you live in these areas we would love to have you join us as a garden host.
We have a large group of volunteers scheduled for the 2nd week of March and we will be building all our new beds for 2018 and making some repairs and aesthetic improvements to our existing ones.
We fell dramatically short of our 2017 December Fundraising goal and if you or anyone you know can make a contribution to continue the growth of food access and garden education in Colorado we would really appreciate it.
Your donations support families like Susan's, a 64 year old woman who is plauged by poverty in her neighborhood. She sees food banks closing, food stamp regulations tightening, and so many families with no where to go. She donated 2 large garden beds on the corner of her property to Jovial to provide food to anyone in need in the neighborhood. She and her partner put up a large sign and invites anyone who passes by to enjoy some fresh, organic produce!
Your donations also support the development of our new space at 1st and Sheridan that hosts a commercial kitchen and farmers market styled grocery store with affordable pricing for those who need it most. For more information visit: www.thecoopat1st.com and we sincerely thank you for all you do.
p.s. We are looking for spring volunteers for numerous projects indoors and out. Please contact info@jovialconcepts.org to get involved.
