Home Depot Update

Lifewerks, Inc. — Wed, 09 May 2012 03:17:51 +0000

Materials for our raised bed garden build have been delayed. The new date for our build is May 17th. Antique gates with new hinges have been picked up and will be wire-brushed and ready to hang. Donated heirloom tomatoes, peppers and eggplants have been set aside and are waiting to be put to bed. Two boxes of seeds are ready to plant. Volunteers have volunteered! More are always welcome!

This Thursday volunteers from several Home Depot stores will be coming to build raised beds and fill them and set posts in concrete so we can hang our donated wrought iron gates, and several other smaller projects.

Home Depot to build and install new raised beds

Within the next 2-3 weeks employees-volunteers from area Home Depots will converge on our new Giving Garden to build and install a total of 14 raised beds, fill them with soil and possibly put in plants as well. They will also install the posts for the antique wrought garden gate donated earlier. We can’t wait to see the finished garden!

Giving Garden News

Lifewerks, Inc. — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:39:41 +0000

We are in discussion with a major home center chain regarding an employee volunteer day this spring when they will come to help us build out our Giving Garden. If we are able to do as much as we hope, we’ll be in need of volunteer gardeners for this season to help us with all the planting, weeding and harvesting. We’ll be growing vegetables, flowers and bedding plants to enrich the lives of our food pantry clients.

Our new cottage

Lifewerks, Inc. — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:39:48 +0000

We have a new cottage for visiting interns, mission teams and writers and artists looking for a place of retreat. It’s on the grounds of the Brandywine Summit Camp Meeting, a lovely Victorian Christian campground, just twenty minutes from our headquarters. It will be available for use from April 15-October 15 of each year. We’re excited to have this inexpensive option for our volunteers as the result of a donation from one of our patrons.
