On May 19th we were joined by 200 volunteers from local universities including Penn State, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, West Chester University, and many others for a morning of volunteering in the NSNP gardens and other organizations including West Kensington Ministry and Norris Square Community Alliance. It was a beautiful day and Bomberos de la Calle played an energizing performance in front of the casita.

As an organization in Latino community, it's important to us to grow foods that community residents can use in their kitchens. It is difficult to germinate seeds for ajíces, gandules, and other important produce without a place to do it.
To teach youth about seed germination and sustainability and to grow more culturally relevant produce for our community, we're launching a crowdfunding campaign to build a passive solar greenhouse in El Batey garden through Hispanics in Philanthropy’s HIPGive2Health program in partnership with Univision.
We’re raising $8,000 to create an "earthship-style" greenhouse with our youth and community residents.
The campaign launches on June 9th at www.hipgive.org .
Please donate or share the campaign with your friends!
Every dollar helps us build a greenhouse for our community.
