Money Needed to Purchase Irrigation
Our spigots are now installed and water is available
to the lower field. We now need to purchase irrigation material (drip
lines and sprinklers) and are looking for $ donations to help purchase
approximately $700 of supplies. Click here to donate
A small group from Civic Justice Corps will be volunteering every Monday 1:15-3:30pm. Feel free to join their work party.
