“I want to personally say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP Growing Places helped connect me to much-needed fresh produce over the past year, and fill the gaps when I didn’t know where my next meal was going to come from. Being able to support and not worry about my nutritional needs helped elevate me to get to the next stage in my life, and successfully move forward with my current goals. So I truly appreciate being able to utilize such an important service, especially in an area where public transit is nearly impossible as a disabled, younger person, such as myself…. This work truly saves peoples’ lives.”
