Horticulture Project

Shout out to KHK volunteers Yana Danzig and Cory Sands for coordinating the construction of veggie beds at the SW Ranches campus! They got sponsorship from Home Depot which provided soil for the beds. Thank you to the Rotary and 4H Monarchs for their support as well. The KID children had lots of fun and learned about healthy food while planting the veggies with our volunteers.
