We are very excited to be getting our hands dirty in the garden again after winter. It is wonderful to see how when the sun is out the mood is lifted. Our volunteer Garden Manager and residents are back in the garden with big plans for this summer. Clients, residents, and volunteers are busy outside with their walks, soaking up the sun, and planting the first crops. Our lettuce will be the first fresh vegetable to be prepared in our kitchen for the residents to enjoy. How could we make a big green salad better? By making it with greens the residents have grown themselves.
Our House’s food program Esther’s Pantry continues to received high quality donations from New Seasons Market and Whole Foods on a weekly basis. Because of these donations, among others, and the supplemental food from the Oregon Food Bank, we are making it possible for over 200+ monthly clients to take home more nutritious food. However, there is still room to grow.
