Hello and Thank You,
2018 has been such an amazing year and it could not have happened with out your support.
This Year with Your Help We Acomplished:
City of Lakewood Earth Day Event
Built a Farmers Market and Grocery store in our Community Center - The Co-op at 1st
We hope to Complete Construction Next Week.
With the Support of the Wolcott Family and in Partnership with Plant the Seed Project we hosted our first summer camp with 12 students!
We sustained 67 gardens in Metro-Denver
We hosted 739 volunteers at the Co-op and the Gardens
We added a garden neighborhood in Aurora
We clocked 3,620 volunteer hours
320 volunteer hours were adults with disabilities
We donated 5,021 lbs of produce
We partnered with The City of Lakewood to host several beer gardens and a party on the plaza.
We were awarded a Denver Foundation Grant to increase economic opportunity in Barnum.
We were nominated and are a finalist for Ewining's Water and Sustainability Innovation Award
We hosted our first Free Community Clinic- offering Chiropractic, Dental, Ayurvedic, Acupuncture, and Holistic Wellness to 30 community members and will continue to hold Clinics on 1st Sundays each month.
We partnered with Energy Outreach Colorado to make The Co-op at 1st as sustainable as possible.
We've hosted 2 community meals.
And we are looking forward to next year when we can provide cooking, canning, freezing, and dehydrating classes in our new kitchen!
What we failed to do this year was very much fundraising, with Earth Day being snowed out and all the construction taking up so much of our time and resources, we are way below our goal for individual donations this year. Please consider donating today to help us continue the great work we are doing building gardens, feeding families and creating a community wellness center. Thanks for all your support and all you do.
We wish you the Happiest of Holidays!
