OFF the Charts!! AND You Make it Happen!
So let's talk about produce...WOW!!
In 2023, our Community Garden had a dynamite year! Between the garden, community donations and the Toone's boxes (the Toones are a local family that donates 10 boxes of fresh seasonal produce on a recurring basis each month), we had 7048 pounds of produce donated in 2023. We were also able to purchase 14,352 pounds of fresh produce through FeedMore and Clarksville Moore's Produce for a total of 21,390 pounds of fresh produce distributed in 2023. In 2022 we distributed 15,016 pounds.
That's a 42.5% increase in fresh produce distributed in 2023 to our neighbors in need.
