Thanks for giving the gift of healthy food!

Thank you so much for coming together to support GRuB. Your contributions provided a home garden to people in need in Thurston County in Washington State. Jessie wanted to thank you personally:

“I’ll admit I was anxious for our garden build today… every little venture into the unknown for me comes with a certain amount of anxiety these days, I wasn’t able to do anything to prep the area, I hadn’t measured to make sure they [the plants] would fit where I wanted them, I didn’t know who was coming, I had no one to join in and help, and I wasn’t sure how much I could physically help. Everything went really smoothly, everyone was very friendly, and even the noise we made didn’t wake up my daughter. She actually slept longer than usual! Although she became tearful when she realized I was outside without her when she woke up, she was eager and excited about the seeds and spent the rest of the evening asking me what each of the packets was called. She went to sleep after saying: “Thank G-d and friends for helping make us a garden.” She even told the volunteers as they were getting back in the truck “Thanks for giving us food.” Those were her own added words after I prompted her to say “Thanks for helping and have a nice day.” She is so excited! She kept putting two seed packets inside the card and asking me to “Choose your prize Mom!”

Thank you again for supporting Jessie and her daughter!
