Local Poverty Matters Discussion Group: Gardening to Feed the Hungry

"Stir the Pot," a hunger relief program that encourages volunteer vegetable gardens is underway in Greater Newburyport. Hear how this innovative program got started, how it has grown, the impact it has on our community and what you can do to help.  Speakers include Ellie Davis, Nancy Earls and others instrumental in getting the program launched.
 
The Local Poverty Matters Discussion Group meets on the first Wednesday of each month from 7-8 PM in the basement classroom of the First Religious Society Church, 28 Pleasant Street, Newburyport. The Group is jointly sponsored by the Social Action Committee of First Religious Society and Pennies for Poverty, the local nonprofit whose mission is to reduce poverty and alleviate its devastating impact on individuals and families in Greater Newburyport.
