about this project

Access to fresh, healthy food is important to us here at MARP.  Through our Myrtle Eats Fresh initiatives, like the Myrtle Farm Stand, we are making food that this both affordable and healthy available to residents who need it most. In the holiday spirit of giving, will you help us donate fresh food items for a community Thanksgiving dinner at our local community center, right here on Myrtle Avenue? 

Our partners at the Ingersoll Community Center (operated by University Settlement) are preparing a hot meal for 100 local residents in need this Thanksgiving. In a project they're calling "Pay it Forward", they've reached out to local residents and organizations to join their effort by donating resources, food, beverages, supplies and time to make sure our neighbors have a delicious and nutritious meal this Thanksgiving. We've stepped up to raise $600 to provide fresh ingredients from our local farm stand partner, Glebocki Farms, and a few supplies.  These funds will purchase seasonal produce like squash, carrots, red potatoes, onions, apples, and greens for the event. A team of volunteer cooks will prepare Thanksgiving favorites using these ingredients.  Will you join your neighbors and support this important cause? Even a small donation would be helpful!
