Killip Elementary School, located in the middle of Flagstaff's Sunnyside Neighborhood, has a beautiful community school garden. This garden provides outdoor educational activities for students and much need produce for their families. It is especially important because many of these families do not have access to fresh and healthy foods on a regular basis, if at all.
At present, gardeners spend 3 hours per day watering the garden during the dry season -- time that students and their families could be spending together.
Flagstaff Foodlink, in collaboration with our local partners*, hopes to install an irrigation system at the school this Spring. We have already raised $500, but we need to raise an additional $2,500. Then Foodlink's Water Our Garden Project at Killip Elementary School will be fully funded!!
We need your support on March 20th!!!
Flagstaff Foodlink is participating in AZ Gives Online Fundraiser on March 20th.
Please go online that day to make a donation!!
