From 9:30 AM to 11:30 PM on Saturday, March 29, the Bellaire Branch of AYLUS volunteered at a Plant It Forward Community Work Day (1318 Sul Ross St, Houston, TX 77006).
Plant It Forward is a Houston-based nonprofit that partners with farmers with refugee backgrounds to advance local urban agriculture. The organization provides targeted services to partnering farms, such as access to land, business mentorship, and sales opportunities. Today, there are 13 farmers operating on 8 independent farms in the PIF network, supplying over 500 families with fresh produce every week.
At this event, members of the AYLUS Bellaire Branch assisted with a Montrose Farm in the PIF network. Volunteers helped remove and dispose of weeds from the farm at this open community event.
3 AYLUS volunteers participated in this event (3/29, 2 hours): Julianne Lee, Ryan T. Li, and Isabel Li.
