Are You Ready To Swap Veggies?
Thanks To All Helpers And Members
By Sierra Fleenor
Executive Director, GPHC, Inc.
Summer is already underway. Our garden is planted (and almost producing!), our farm stand has started up, and we are collaborating with partners to realize our vision of a zero waste office.
Our farm stand started on June 5 and will continue throughout the growing season. Every Monday through Oct. 30 (except July 3), we will have our free fresh farm stand set up outside the GPHC office at 2823 Fairfax St. from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you’re a gardener, feel free to bring by extra veggies and fruit to be distributed to other neighbors and – think veggie swap – head home with something you need.
We have many people to thank this month and we’d like to start by extending our sincere gratitude to our donors who have brought fresh, frozen, and non-perishable food to GPHC, keeping our pantry full and our clients happy. Thank you also to those who have made monetary donations. Last month our volunteers went above and beyond. From restacking hundreds of cans to maintaining the food pantry garden to hauling a half a ton of rocks for our new planters—thank you!
Finally, thanks to all our new and renewed members from mid-April to mid-June. We could not operate our food programs, run our special events, and do what we do without each and every one of you. If you haven’t yet renewed your membership, look for a letter soon in the mail from us. If you would like to become a volunteer, donor, or member please visit our website at greaterparkhill.org or contact us at info@greaterparkhill.org or 303-388-0918.
We have a few needs this month for our food pantry and farm stand: fresh veggies, fruit, eggs, milk, and other fresh items, jars and cans of fruit, canned meats (spam, chicken, salmon, Vienna sausages), hamburger/tuna helper, rice-a-roni, turkey chili, hearty soups, iced tea bags, scotch tape, woven baskets, can openers, spatulas, and travel and regular sized: bar soap, shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, chapstick, deodorant (for men and women), toothpaste, and lotion. Please remember: we cannot distribute opened or expired food.
We accept donations Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at our office (2823 Fairfax St). If those hours do not work for you, you can also donate non-perishable items for our food programs at the Park Hill Branch of Denver Public Library (4750 Montview Blvd.) or at Cake Crumbs (2216 Kearney St.) during their business hours.
