[Advocacy-outreach] [Communications] Zakat Foundation Sustainable Giving Project

[Julie Samuels]

Hello, Katie,
I am a member of CCGA's Advocacy and Outreach committee and other  members
are copied here.   I am passionate about helping   people  start community
gardens in Chicago! So our committee will work with you first to learn
where you would like to do this, if you have contacted any residents in the
area and what you would need to start this - such as helping  to organize
a local garden committee and what is physically involved in starting and
maintaining a garden in the city.  This is such a good time of the year to
start a garden and I strongly hope you will be able to do it!
