<h1>We Need Your Help!</h1>

</p>
<p style="text-align:left">As some have already heard, we had an unexpected fire at Star Farm on Memorial Day weekend. Rocio, our Director of Operations, returned from working the Logan Square Market and saw that the pink shipping container
at our main site had caught fire. She frantically called the CFD, directed sprinklers towards the flames, and tried to do everything she could to minimize damage while she waited for the fire department to arrive. After putting out the fire, CFD said that
the fire was caused by cottonwood seeds from the tree that neighbors our main site, which due to especially dry conditions, were highly flammable. We feel fortunate that the fire was contained and did not damage our hoophouse, garden beds, or any of our neighbors’
properties. That said, the fire did destroy our shipping container that housed event materials, programming supplies, market equipment, and farm/landscape tools. These losses are devastating because like many farmers, we have spent years investing in, and
slowly accumulating, our organization’s equipment and materials. </p>

<p style="text-align:left">We were slow to share this news because we wanted to push through the sadness, frustration, and inconvenience caused by this incident. The timing of this fire has been especially difficult because we are in the midst of our busiest
season of programming, growing, and landscaping. Creating a plan of action for making repairs, financing replacements, and finding time amidst landscaping, farming, and programming to address our needs has been challenging. Additionally, we did not want to
ask more of those who already give so much support to us. But as word has slowly spread throughout our amazing community, we have had many people ask how they can help. For this, we are overwhelmed with gratitude and reminded, once again, of the power of a
community built on shared values and goals. </p>
<p style="text-align:left"><br>
</p>
<p style="text-align:left">We were able to account for everything that was lost, and we have estimated the total costs for repairs and replacements. If you are feeling compelled to support us during this time, there are a few different ways you can show your
love. </p>
