Shelly Williams is the proud recipient of the first ever Garden Grant, sponsored by C’ville Foodscapes and Quality Community Council (QCC). Williams and her family will receive an organic, sustainable vegetable garden, complete with a rain barrel and compost bin, all for free. The planting will take place at the Williams’ home on Thursday, September 23. The Garden Grant was created to assist a local low-income family; sponsors of the grant will continually help Williams and family to make sure the garden is doing well and providing fresh vegetables.
Donations are currently being accepted for the next grant recipient in the spring of next year. For more information, visit the QCC webite.
Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
