Thank you Chipotle!
Thanks to everyone for making eating a selfless act by joining us for a fundraiser to support the Hoover YMCA Park Learning Garden.
As a result, more than $3,400 was raised in support of the Hoover Y Park Learning Garden. These funds will support education programs to help kids learn more about where their food comes from, and will also support the donation of thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to local food pantries.
Chipotle partnered with Hoover YMCA Park Learning Garden, because they think it’s important that people understand where real food is grown and where it comes from.
When we work together, the YMCA can do SO MUCH MORE for our community!
About the Garden
The Hoover YMCA Park Learning Garden is a two acre garden on YMCA property located in Lockbourne, Ohio, just south of Columbus. It is a chemical free garden that uses natural methods for pest control and weeds. The garden is a partnership between the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, the YMCA of Central Ohio and with support from Local Matters and Chipotle. The goal of the Learning Garden is to teach the community about where their vegetables come from and how they can utilize natural methods to create gardens at home. Over 1,000 children visit the Hoover Y Park during the summer day-camp season and are involved in programs in the garden.
