You'll not only be sprucing up your yard... sales benefit the the Holly Springs Food Cupboard garden, which provides healthy food for Cupboard clients!
Proceeds from this annual plant sale fund the Cupboard garden, supplying seeds, soil, and equipment needed for an abundant harvest of fresh produce that is given to those in need in our community.

| | Around the Cupboard Last Month | | The Holly Springs Teen Recreation Advisory Council put in some hard work in the Cupboard garden last month. Tasks included spreading wood chips in muddy areas, planting and fertilizing eggplants, watering, weeding, and cleaning. Many thanks to this wonderful group! | | Many, many thanks to Holly Springs Elementary School for a gigantic food drive requiring two pickups! We are extremely grateful for your support! | | Clear Defense Pest Control brought in a load of food donations last month. Thank you so much! | | Pat Haggard, who currently serves as Cupboard Vice President after many years as executive director, was recognized as one of Voyage Raleigh magazines' "Most Inspiring Stories." Check out the article about this fantastic Cupboard champion! | |  | A huge thanks to the local F3 men who installed rain gutters on the Cupboard's garden shed and hooked up downspouts to capture rain water in our rain barrels. These guys are terrific and have helped improve Cupboard facilities numerous times! | | | A big shout out to Honeycutt Farms neighborhood for collecting a haul of much-needed food! Pictured is the second of two truckloads! Thank you! | | Holly Grove Elementary School hosted a "math night," and one of the activities was a cereal drive. The students and teachers created a bar graph out of the cereal boxes to determine the winner of extra recess and popsicles. We are so grateful to have HGES as a cereal shelf sponsor! | | Bob Volpe and the team at Sterling Fox Financial Services brought in a carload of donated food! Thank you for making an impact. | | | Cub Scouts and dads from Pack 66 spent a recent Saturday morning weeding the Cupboard garden beds and fertilizing cabbage and collards. Thanks for a great job! | | | Just in time for the upcoming plant sale in April, Gage Kennan completed his Eagle Scout project. He and a team of more than 25 scouts and parents made 8 greenhouse racks for holding trays and pots. Thank you so much Gage! | | |
