About the Program: 

With this grant we will put in a perennial fruit bush orchard. These plants will be managed and maintained by the school and community and the fruit will be distributed to local residents who must currently feed their families without the help of a local grocery store. Students will gain valuable hands-on learning experience and will have the chance to mentor with local high school students. Residents will gain access to healthier food and learn more about nutrition.
