Hey, Folks. One way that I have been inspired to make permaculture
accessible to folks of all socioeconomic statuses and ethnic backgrounds is
through the Lots of Food project. Please consider supporting this project.
We're teaching people, feeding them fresh food in the middle of food
deserts, and learning lessons that I believe we will be able to share with
other permaculture activists.

Now for the generic message part...

Since spring 2013, I have been the program director of a new project,
Lots
of Food, a program of Seeking Common Ground. Lots of Food (LOF)
(www.lotsoffood.org <http://www.lotsoffood.org/> ) is planting public
food
forests all around Rochester - planting free food right where there are
hungry people who need it. We have been working on 12 gardens so far.
Over
the coming decades, these food forests will provide garden neighbors
with
nuts, fruits, vegetables, seeds, and medicinal and edible herbs and
flowers.
We're very excited to see that our work is already having a positive
impact
in the neighborhoods as both adults and children come out to work in the
gardens, learn about the plants, and ask questions. At the Montgomery
Neighborhood Center, the community interest has been so strong that one
of
our team members is co-leading a Winter Children's Program one night a
week
after school. We have done all of this with almost no funding.
I am excited to continue this work into 2014 and beyond. This project
is
truly life giving work for me! Fundraising will mean that we can spend
more
time in the gardens working with folks and less time scrounging for
resources. I hope that you will consider giving what you can to support
our
fundraising efforts. And, yes!, please share this email with anyone you
know.


Kickstarter Campaign - $2500 all or nothing effort that ends 1/8/13. If
we
raised $2500 or more here, we receive the funding; even a dollar less
means
we get $0. This campaign is focused on raising funds to support the
Montgomery Neighborhood Center. As you'll see if you watch the video,
we
are making a difference already. Here's our project URL:
