Just a quick word here to say that you can contribute to the Vegetable Project over the next three months if you shop at the Honest Weight Food Co-op. As many of you probably know, the Co-op encourages shoppers to give to a variety of community organizations the five cents they receive for each reusable shopping bag they bring with them. Cashiers give shoppers an Envirotoken for each bag. And then shoppers can place the Envirotokens with designated community groups on their way out of the store. The Vegetable Project is currently one of the beneficiaries of the program.
Please look for the Vegetable Project in the Envirotoken display next time you shop at the Co-op. And thanks so much to the Co-op, Albany’s natural and organic food market, for ongoing support of our work to grow healthy children in Albany with our garden-based teaching and learning.
