Meeting the Challenges of the Future with

Citizens' Involvement

COMMUNITY GARDEN

After months of planning and the extreme diligence of Mr. Donald Anderson, 1000 Friends of Fresno are in the process of developing a Community Garden in southwest Fresno with Mr. Anderson as Project Manager.

It will be located on a 2-½ acre plot owned by the Second Baptist Church of Southwest Fresno, whose senior pastor, Dr. Melvin R. Whittle, has been extremely helpful in this endeavor.

Participating with us in this project is Mr. Charlie Krueger PhD, CSUF Department of Agriculture, Mr. Tom Mattot and Ms. Karen Clifton of Fresno Metro Ministry and Mr. Jensen Vang, Fresno County Economic Opportunities Commission.

The object of this garden is to get the community involved in providing fresh fruits and vegetables for those in need. In addition it will provide a way for the youth of the community to get involved and learn about the opportunities available to them in the agricultural industry.

Our biggest cost in the development of this project will be for fencing, the watering system and gardening tools.

We do need funding for the expenses involved, so your tax-deductible donations to 1000 Friends of Fresno will be greatly appreciated.
