Farm and School Programs Looking for Donated Seeds
 We're building some new and exciting gardening related programs with Taylor Elementary and Roosevelt Middle School. To help them achieve their goals we could use some donated seed packets. Flowers, herbs and vegetable seeds would all be gladly accepted. Please bring them by the office and drop them in the box on Matt's desk, but make sure you get a donation receipt! If you don't have any seeds now but still would like to donate, it's easy to order some online from Seed Savers or Johnny's and have them delivered to our office via the mail. We appreciate the support! |

| Home Dedicated Following Rebuild
by Block by Block
One happy and grateful homeowner celebrated with neighbors, friends, family, and folks from Block by Block on February 17. In a service led by Matthew 25 staff, her home was dedicated. She described the help of Block by Block as really "turning my life around." Our commitment to the community was evident in this celebration. |
