Opportunity to help our Refugee Families!
The Newcomer's School has a produce table at The Farmer's Market, located on the outside walkway near the peach vendor and the place where they sample the "Produce of the Day" on the Lindsay Street side of the market. This past weekend, Pascal, a member of the refugee family who attends Lawndale, worked the table. Next weekend, August 9th, Joseph will be working the table. They are allowed to take home 80% of the money received the day they work, and 20% will go back into supporting the garden at the school. Please come out and support them! Come as early as possible to get the best selection! It will be a blessing to these families as they work hard to settle into our country.
