Delmarva Plant a Row for the Hungry Campaign

Finally, its Springtime! Are you or do you know someone who likes to garden fresh fruits and vegetables? Telamon is actively recruiting now for the Delmarva "Plant a Row" for the Hungry Campaign. It doesn't matter if your garden is 1 small bed in your backyard or an acre big, we need you! With skyrocketing produce costs, food pantries and shelters are finding their limited resources stretched even further. Partnering together, we can strengthen our communities and build local resources! This is a project you can really dig into! For more information, contact Telamon at nmatos1@telamon.org or call 410-546-4605

ben Donate to Medora Harvest Fund through "Ben Dunn's 100 Mile Runn"
My goal is to raise awareness of local food and why it is important to eat food grown locally and to make it accessible to people of all incomes. My project is to run 100 miles between January 1 and April 30. The reason I have chosen to jog 100 miles is because it would be great if our food came from farms within a 100 mile radius of where we live. ----
