Subject: Kickoff for Common Good City Farm’s Green Tomorrows Healthy educational program for your constituents
Attention leaders in the community:
We wanted to notify you of an amazing program we’re kicking off that
your constituents might be interested in. This spring, Common Good
City Farm will be kicking off its Green Tomorrows program for members
in our community, a unique and innovative education initiative for
low-income residents of Washington, DC. Since 2007, Common Good City
Farm has made it its mission to provide educational opportunities for
all people that help increase food security, improve health, and
contribute to environmental sustainability. We had over 70 applicants
for last year’s Green Tomorrows program and hope to expand this year.
In conjunction with a variety of local community organizations, the
Green Tomorrows program seeks to provide low-income individuals with
hands-on educational experience in gardening and health awareness.
Over the course of six weeks, participants will go through a series of
workshops including horticulture, nutrition, food preparation and food
budgeting, developing important skills for a productive and healthy
future. With community feedback, we are restructuring the program this
year to include a Green Tomorrows certificate of achievement for those
participants who complete the program. As an added benefit,
participants will also receive a weekly supply of fresh produce direct
from the farm. Intake interviews for participation will be held in
March and orientation for the first of two Green Tomorrows sessions
will be held on April 21st, 2012. We are now accepting applications
on a rolling basis. All of our programs are free for residents who
apply and qualify. Common Good City Farm is a neighborhood focused
organization and is committed to improving the lives of those in its
community and empowering people through food. Attached are the flyers
for the program. If you would like us to bring flyers to your
community meeting or speak with your constituents, please contact:
