Our Projects

Below is a listing of projects we have completed.

Boxes were packed and delivered to Lodi Shut-Ins on Labor Day.  The next shipment will be for Halloween.  Melanie Toutai will be heading up this effort and providing ideas to us for things to be donated.

Bob, Chris and (the master builder) built, filled and delivered the completed rolling planter to Needham School.  Thanks to Bob the master gardener and Chris the soil master and giver of soil the children will enjoy learning about gardening firsthand.
