Summary of Projects

Townsend Ecumenical Outreach received a grant in 2010 for fencing and soil amendments in preparation for the 2011 growing season. Volunteers are working under the Townsend Ecumenical Outreach umbrella to develop a garden on TEO property. The focus is on providing a place for community members to grow their own food with about 30% of the land dedicated to growing for TEO's food distribution program.
