As we prepare our gardens and as we prepare our hearts to do the work of trauma recovery in our Supporting Healthy Black Families Workgroup, we cant help but to consider the demonic and insidious nature of white supremacy racism. As many are aware a white man targeted Black people in Buffalo, New York and murdered 10 people for being Black. It is imperative that we continue to do the work to eliminate this demonic way of being that impacts all of us and strips all of us of our humanity, moving us further and further away from one another. We're sending love, healing energy to all the families who lost a loved one from this horrendous cowardous act. And, to all Black people across the country, who are continuously reminded that Being Black in AmeriKKKa is all that is required to be sentenced to death. #SayTheirNames

The First Saturday of the Supporting Healthy Black Agriculture Workgroup was a Success!
The Supporting Healthy Black Agriculture (SHBA) Workgroup kicked off last Saturday and we had an amazing first day! For the first time participants had the opportunity to tour the Farley Center and get familiar with the area. The group toured our garden plot and our Agriculture Lead, Ruthanna, talked about the importance of soil structure and health.

They ended the tour by walking through the Farley Center's apiary (beehives) with a visit into the Natural Path Sanctuary. The families then got creative and painted plant identification tags for the food they will harvest this summer!

They also had the opportunity to harvest garlic from one of the Farley center fields to take home.
This week, we are building raised beds and volunteers are encouraged to sign up!

We have several volunteer opportunities available, so please get in touch with us today! There are still a few items on our SHBA Wish List that will help the progression of this program. Please take a look at our SHBA Wish List and consider donating today!
