#136: Rescue Mission (Friday, August 7)

Sign the Petition to Save Brooklyn Rescue Mission’s Farm!

In 2005, Brooklyn Rescue Mission partnered with local organizations to create an urban farm. They turned a vacant lot into an edible Eden that provides freshly grown food to thousands of needy Brooklynites. But the Brooklyn Rescue Mission, an emergency food pantry in Bedford-Stuyvesant, could lose half of Bed-Stuy Farm (its 5,000-square-foot facility on a long-neglected lot) if plans go through to build on it.

this is such an important petition! I signed it last month and have been promoting the farm and the petition. The farm is some thing everyone in the community should be supporting. I'm looking into volunteering ops there if anyone is interested..
