April
5, was “PLANTING DAY”, for the
Task Force and its volunteers as they plant vegetables in the 50
raised beds the group has constructed over the past two weeks.
“The
purpose of the garden is to provide a home-grown and sustainable
source of nutrition and food for the homeless community”, says
Anita Beaty. The
95,000 square foot Homeless Shelter located on the corners of
Peachtree & Pines Streets is the largest shelter space in the
southeastern US providing shelter and services to an
average of 750 men, women, and children on a daily basis. The
shelter is a non-profit 501©3 organization.
Over
the past two weeks the shelter has received loads of donated compost
and topsoil, all of which was bucket brigaded up 4 flights of
stairs. Volunteers will use the 120 pieces of donated lumber to
make 40 raised planting beds (see photos below of the beds already
built and producing seedlings). Other smaller pre-fab planting
beds were also donated.
