Hurray for sunny garage sale weather!

Okay folks here you go! Sunday, June 2nd we will be having a Garage fundraising sale for PC! It will be from 10 - 3 at 683 N. Second Street, Woodburn. We hope to raise enough funds to help with our PR campaign, a website (an official one) and also buy some fine soil for our community gardens.

Garage sale postponed

The garage sale will be postponed until next weekend due to the heavy rains headed our way. However, we are sure the recently planted gardens will love another long week of rain. Check back later for details on time, place and day.

Garage sale fundraiser

Monday, May 27th we will be having a Garage fundraising sale for PC! It will be from 10 - 3 at 683 N. Second Street, Woodburn. We hope to raise enough funds to help with our PR campaign, a website (an official one) and also buy some fine soil for our community gardens.

Tomorrow!!! May 25th.

Community Garden work party tomorrow at the First Presbyterian Church. We will be planting the food bank side of the garden. In years past this side has donated roughly 3,500 pounds of produce to our local AWARE food pantry. Plant starts will be available grown by our own high school students, plus food and more. 8 - 12! 

Also, Erubiel will be working at the Radio Movimiento/PCUN/CLI complex in honor of veterans, like himself for Memorial Day. As Erubiel said "I am a US Veteran and if you could give me a memory, give me this one.. Come and work with me on a Saturday shoulder by shoulder". You can find Erubiel there from 9 - 1.

Come prepared to get muddy and come prepared for rain. Dress accordingly please.

Radio Movimiento update

Erubiel has been working hard at Radio Movimiento. The greenroof is blossoming and starting to look good. The bio-swale is weeded and growing back strong. Plus the veggie garden has some new updates! Erubiel will be having work parties at Radio Movimiento, Capaces Leadership Institute and PCUN every Saturday through June. Until then, check out the pictures.
Why not put a veggie garden there?!

Looking good!


The Trumpet vine trellis/arbor. Thanks Lazaro for the idea and work.

Thanks everyone!!!

Thanks to all the hard working families and volunteers for your work on Saturday! The Family Plot side is looking amazing and we accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Still work to do but we have an amazing start. We are looking forward to seeing the plots blossom and grow with healthy food, beautiful flowers and new relationships.
Here are a few pictures from the day...

Our amazing families!!

On our way!
All in a days work!



























Hope to see everyone and more this Saturday at our next work party! Same garden place, same garden thyme! We will be planting the food bank side of the garden and providing the finishing touches to the family plots side.

PS. Our thoughts go out to families in Oklahoma.
