Stamp out Hunger this Saturday, May 12th!

The Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) is participating in Stamp Out Hunger Day! It is so easy to participate. Put your non perishable food – canned meats, vegetables, fish, soup, juice, pasta, cereal and rice – in bags. Do not include items in glass containers. Place the bags near your mailbox. The USPS will pick up the items and all will be delivered to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Don’t let that food you won’t eat take up space, help out others by donating it! For more information, visit the ACFB’s blog post or the national Stamp Out Hunger Day’s Facebook page.

Beltline Urban Farm Cleanup Saturday May 5th

adminadairpark — Fri, 04 May 2012 16:58:30 +0000

Adair Park is pitching in with Capitol View and the Beltline to do some more cleaning of the urban farm property on Allene Avenue just south of the intersection at Catherine Street. The last cleanup was great, but since they have a dumpster leftover, why not clean a little more? This project is going to help Adair Park out in so many ways. Come on out from 9am to 12pm!

Read a Beltline blog post about the previous cleanup, and here is some more information on the urban farm itself. Thanks again to Fred Yalouris for coming to our meeting on Tuesday to discuss this great project! Also, if you haven’t been on the trail that starts at Catherine Street and Allene Avenue, here is a blog post about the southwest section of the trail, including a video shot from that intersection.
