Ginormous Beach Clean-Up at 79th

CareTeam Volunteer Opportunities for August
DuSable Campus Garden (click on a date to sign up)
We’ve essentially finished planting our garden and are left with maintaining it. Next we’ll paint the ugly metal posts that border the front, take a tour of Soul Vegetarian Restaurant to learn about healthy eating, and take a cooking class at Kendall College . Do you like to paint? Try out restaurants? Encourage youth to treat themselves well?

Englewood Youth Against Lead Garden (click on a date to sign up)
After a recent delivery of mulch fell into our garden, we realized that a) we have too much mulch, and b) since the garden’s about finished, the youth are ready to educate their neighbors about protecting themselves against lead (ex: plant a garden). If you need mulch or would like to help some young folks create posters about lead poisoning, join us. Don’t know about lead poisoning? We’ll explain it to you.
