Past Events: •
Day of Caring o This past Saturday, September 14th o Members went to an urban farm located downtown which is run by an organization called VINES where they plant and harvest vegetables and fruit o We were split up into two groups where some of us were in charge of weeding and the others were responsible for harvesting the plants o VINES distributes most of their produce through something called “Farm Share.” Farm Share is a weekly subscription to a box of produce for a relatively low price. Broome County is classified as a “food desert” which is defined as an urban area in which it is difficult to access affordable or good-quality fresh food, so the goal of Farm Share is to provide this fresh produce at a low cost to help feed our community. They also donate some of their produce to CHOW and the Binghamton Food Co-op o VINES has recurring open volunteer days every Wednesday from 1 to 3 and every Thursday from 9 to noon at 16 Tudor Street or at CHOW on Mondays from 9 to noon - Broome County Bus that stops right near the Tudor Street location
