The Byrd House Farmlet & WBCH Food Pantry Need You!
William Byrd Community House's Food Pantry program distributes fresh food to families and adults in need on Mondays and Thursdays.
The fresh food comes from our own Byrd House Farmlet, a small production farm that also supplies fresh produce to our Children's Summer Program families in July and August on a weekly basis.
Last year we distributed more than 430 grocery bags full!
WBCH's Byrd House Farmlet crops are now ready for weekly harvest so we need YOU to help harvest, process and bag food on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9-11am. A great activity for 5-6 people, contact Matthew at 814-8001 for details and to schedule your harvest day! Visit EatGoodGrowGreat.blogspot.com for pictures and stories.
Byrd House Market, Grace Arents Community Garden and Byrd House Farmlet are designed to provide living laboratories for learning nutrition, ecology and economics. Through innovative initatives like these WBCH continues to transform lives and build self-sufficiency. Hours and directions at bottom of page.
