Help the YMCA Share the Harvest

from my email,

Hi Mr. Trimble, I was hoping you would post a link to encourage
people to vote for the Dartmouth Share the Harvest program through the
following link.
http://www.refresheverything.com/sharingtheharvestHelp th
Share the Harvest is a community farm located on land adjoining the
Dartmouth, YMCA. It is a joint project between the United Way, the
Hunger Commission and the Dartmouth Y. The food grown there is
distributed to local families fresh after harvest. Last year they
produced 20,000 pounds! At the website there is a link to post it on
your facebook or twitter account for your friends and family to vote
as well. You may vote every day as well, I plan on posting it on my
FB acct each day. The top ten vote earners will get funding, up to
50,000 dollars.
Thank You,
Marlene Holohan
The Sharing the Harvest YMCA Community Farm Project is an effort to alleviate hunger at the local level. The community farm at the Dartmouth YMCA was created for the express purpose of producing fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables. This nutrient-rich produce is grown under organic principals, and is a result of the collaborative efforts YMCASouthcoast with the Hunger Commission, a project of the United Way of Greater New Bedford. Although our major focus is growing nutritional food to alleviate hunger, ...

... this project promotes volunteerism and fosters the education of volunteers and the community at large to understand and confront the reality of hunger right in their own communities. Community volunteers from businesses, schools and civic organizations bring their energy and their enthusiasm to help fulfill our mission to grow nutritious food to feed the hungry in their communities.
