Groundwork Lawrence’s Share-a-Share Program:
Help us extend the harvest to the hungry!
As part of our mission, Groundwork Lawrence strives to make high-quality fresh produce accessible to as many members of our community as we can. In 2008, Groundwork Lawrence established a fund to subsidize the cost of CSA shares to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship. Through our Share-a-Share Program, you can make a tax-deductible donation to help us extend the benefits of the CSA to those who would otherwise not be able to afford it. Last year, thanks to the generosity of 2010 CSA members and the greater Groundwork community, we were able to raise $5,000 for the Share-a-Share program; this funding was used to buy food for several Lawrence families and countless individuals through the Neighbors In Need (NIN) food pantries, who dispersed over 6,095 lbs. of the donated fresh produce from the CSA to the needy. GWL’s partnership with NIN meant that the individuals and families who rely on food pantries to get by received fresh produce in their pantry bags in addition to the canned and boxed goods they typically receive. This year, as we extend the program to all of Farmer Dave's CSA sites, our goal is to raise $10,000. Can you help us get there? View full details by clicking on the link below.
