ACOLA LA AM M AG G M ZINE GAZ AZ ENSACOLAM ZINE PENSACOLA MAGAZINE | 43 Coast has helped start two community gardens: one garden at the Boys & Girls Club of Escambia County, and the other called the “Grow Garden” on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive in downtown Pensacola. Both sites provide fresh, nutritious produce to agency partners, educate the public about the benefits of growing their own produce, and promote environmental awareness in the community. The program’s goal is to get people working hands-on in the garden and participating in education workshops, and the program also serves as a way for other organizations in our area to gain access to resources for starting their own gardens. For example, this program helps community gardens grow by offering help with planning and breaking ground, preparing workshops, recruiting volunteers, grant writing for funds, marketing and promotion, and creating a community garden map for better accessibility by the public. Feeding the Gulf Coast’s annual 30 Ways in 30 Days calendar can found online at feedingthegulfcoast.org. The calendar will provide readers with ways in which they can join the fight against hunger and raise awareness through the month of September—also known as Hunger Action Month. Other ways to get involved include signing up to volunteer, donating foods and funds, or becoming a member agency to help distribute food in our service area. Donations can made whether you choose to become a monthly donor or give through one of the food bank’s campaigns and promotions. Even giving a $1 to the cause allows the food bank to provide five meals to someone in need. If you are interested in hosting a food drive, or allowing Feeding the Gulf Coast to be part of an event, please reach out to Kyle Schoolar at either kschoolar@ feedingthegulf.org, or 850-626-1332.
