Last Friday, a couple hundred WhiteWavers partnered with more than 15 Denver/Boulder organizations for our first annual Impact Day – a volunteer event designed to get out of the office and help out in the community. We’re hearing so many great stories from the day, which we’ll soon share here on The Grazing Mind… but in the meantime, check out a few snapshots of what went down:
Kris LaFirenza helping clear a community garden plot at Boulder's Growing Gardens. The organization's mission is to enrich the lives of Boulder County residents through environmentally sustainable gardening programs that empower people to experience a direct and deep connection with plants, the land and each other. www.growinggardens.org
Tyler Holm pulling weeds at the Shoenberg Farm in Westminster, Colo. The Farm creates a community performance venue for music, theatre and film, and provides an ideal location for a year-round Farmers’ Market
Deanna Bratter and Sarah VanHouten plant trees and shrubs in a wetlands preserve near Boulder, Colo.
One of the larger WWFC groups at Feed Denver, helping build an urban farm plot in a parking lot downtown. Feed Denver’s mission is to foster local food security and sustainability through the development of urban farming by providing innovative tools, techniques and training for individuals, organizations and disadvantaged communities. www.feeddenver.com
