Let's grow something special

We are excited to share another opportunity to grow something special in our community. We have recently learned about a wonderful program through the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS) called Gardens for Everyone (GFE). This dynamic program falls within their mission to feed, teach and grow. GFE is designed to provide fresh food to local homes and communities by building raised garden boxes on site and providing support from seed to harvest. Most boxes are 4' x 8' x 20', and are built by IFFS staff and volunteers.

Our Vice President, Paul Leifer was a volunteer at a recent build at the Whitted School in Durham. Though volunteer turnout was terrific and the energy level high, the tools available were old and malfunctioning. It was easy to identify a need and an opportunity to show #CreeksideCares!

Our goal is to raise about $1,000 to purchase items including new drills, shovels, shears, hammers, battery packs and pick axes. Creekside Cares will set up a table down at Hemingway Hall on Thursday, May 27 from 5-7 p.m. Come on down, there will be a food truck! Feel free to drop by and make a donation. We are accepting cash and checks made payable to Creekside Cares, Inc. No amount is too small.
​
Beginning May 28, we will be accepting donations in our secure donation box at 1038 Carraway Lane until June 4th. Thanks in advance for your support.
