Happy Summertime!
Many of you are taking holidays and holding shares – make sure to get your holds for July 4 into me! We have a share donation program which has been particularly needed by food insecure families during these challenging times.You have an option to donate your share if you are away – you can do this thru your dashboard, or email me and I will set it up – we, and the families we work with, are grateful for your generosity. Thank you!
