Project Name: Wolfe’s Neck Farm
Purpose: Wolfe’s Neck Farm volunteers will serve by learning to grow food in indoor containers – a gardening method that is available to almost all people, regardless of class, economic standing, or time of the year. We will serve ourselves and our families by learning how to grow food, and we will serve our larger community by donating half of the vegetables to our local food pantry. Participants will also examine food in justice by participating in a “World Lunch.” By experiencing firsthand the unequal distribution of food across the world and in our communities, we will be challenged to address hunger and poverty.

Project Name: ReGift it!
Purpose: Our project hopes to bring together people of all ages and backgrounds to strengthen our community and bridge social barriers. By collecting unwanted goods and redistributing them in the community, we will be meeting real needs for Maine people who are struggling to purchase normal goods in this tight economy. AmeriCorps Alums of Portland, Maine believes that sharing goods and services is one of the best ways to make use of our community’s scarce resources and sees that the values of Martin Luther King will be upheld as we work toward social justice in this way. ReGift It! hopes that your unwanted goods will go to someone who can use them, recycling within the community and keeping them out of landfills.
When: Monday, January 18, 2010 from 11am-3pm.
Location:
First Parish UU Church
425 Congress Street
Portland, ME.
