Plant a Kitchen Garden at Cass
Cass = a place of hope in midtown Detroit
The kitchen at Cass Community Social Services in Detroit serves over one million meals to hungry and sometimes forgotten people. First Pres plants and maintains a vegetable garden just outside the kitchen door at Cass, and you can help prepare & plant this garden on Saturday, May 21, 2022. The garden First Pres prepares produces an abundance of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and squash that provide fresh, tasty produce throughout the summer. Cass has a new Food Service Director, Carl Agnott, and a renewed interest in growing and using fresh produce in Detroit.
Join this project on Saturday, May 21 from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. to prepare the ground and plant the garden. Our group will be outdoors and needs more hands to help this project succeed. Meet at First Pres at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday May 21, bring gloves, water and any gardening tools you have. We will return to Ann Arbor about 12:30 p.m. More CASS Gardening Days will be scheduled throughout the summer to work in our garden alongside CASS volunteers.
Cass = Food, Shelter, Jobs & Health Care
Gather friends, bring your family, recruit your children, offer fresh, healthy food, and give grace to the people of Detroit though the ministries of Cass Community Social Services & First Pres. http://casscommunity.org/
