Community Garden 2020 Callout Meeting
Monday, April 27, 2020 - 4:00pm
**If we are unable to meet in a group at Federation, we will do a Zoom conference call online and via phone.**
The garden must go on! Lily’s Community Garden at the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana is entering its second season. Come help us assess our 2019 season, plan our 2020 crops for providing fresh produce to our Food Pantry, and discuss educational opportunities for JCY campers and K’Ton Ton students. Contact the office at 219-301-0960 for more information.

In 2019, the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana created a Community Garden, led by Lily Yalowitz. Our idea is to not only provide fresh produce, but also offer a peaceful and fulfilling retreat for the public. The garden will also give educational opportunities to our JCY campers and K’Ton Ton students as well as providing fresh produce to the Federation food pantry.

Get Involved!

To make our Community Garden project a reality, we will need many hands to build, plant, weed, water, and eventually harvest. Can you help out? Let us know! We will plan work shifts throughout the summer and fall based on interest. All ages welcome. Call (219) 301-0960 for details, or fill out the interest form at right.
