would LOVE the opportunity to host your group!

We are a green garden campus in the heart of Englewood and serve the
low-income residents with gardening, education work-shops and summer camp
space for a 9 week youth program. Your volunteering would be a HUGE
BLESSING to help us keep the campus clean & green!

Please be in touch to discuss the particulars.
