Kindness still grows here

A Heartfelt Moment at the Farmstand
Every so often, something happens that reminds us exactly why we do what we do - and why community matters more than ever.

This week, during our Food & Things Drive, an anonymous customer quietly dropped off $300 worth of groceries at the farmstand. No spotlight, no need for recognition - just a genuine act of generosity to help local families during a challenging time.

In a world where it can sometimes feel like everyone is rushing, competing, or thinking only of themselves, moments like this stop us in our tracks. They remind us that there are still good people - thoughtful, giving, community-minded people, who lead with heart and kindness.

To that anonymous donor, thank you.

To every single person who has given canned goods, toiletries, baby supplies, warm clothing, or pet food, thank you.

To those who have contributed in any way big or small - you’re proof that caring for each other is still alive and well.

Because of you, families in our community will have meals on the table, warmth in their homes, and a little peace of mind going into the holidays.

Want to get involved? Here’s how you can help:

Food & Things Drive (through Dec 30th)

Thank you to everyone who has already contributed, and to those thinking about pitching in. Every donation, every can of soup, every bag of rice, every act of kindness adds up.

Community isn’t just a word - it’s all of us, looking out for each other.
