Help the Hunger Task Force Farm get ready for a new season!

Each year, The Farm grows half a million pounds of fresh produce and delivers it to local pantries, meal sites and senior centers creating access for those facing hunger.

The Farm’s Nutrition Education program teaches healthy-eating habits to 250+ low-income students each week on The Farm. Students learn to garden and cook using fresh produce right from the school garden.

In addition, The Farm is home to 100+ acres of natural areas, which includes a 43-acre endangered Oak Savanna, wetlands, and prairie.

In the spring, there is much to do! Help us:

• Natural areas restoration: wood chipping trails, clearing invasive brush and plants
• Cleaning & organizing the Nutrition Education kitchen
• Cleaning, raking and wood chipping the School Garden
• Weeding spinach/shaping garden beds in the Hoop Houses (dependent on spinach harvest timing)

Kohl's volunteers will help make diaper cakes, which will be used as centerpieces and game prizes at the 2019 Cabell County Community Baby Shower, which is scheduled for April 24th this year. Due to health complications, our volunteers who normally construct diaper cakes for the baby shower will be unavailable this spring. All of the materials and instructions will be supplied by the baby shower coordinator.
The Cabell County Community Baby shower is one of the largest baby showers in the state of WV. This year will be our 5th annual event. We serve 100 expectant mothers and their guests. Priority reservations are given to 1st time mothers who reside in Cabell County. There are no income restrictions, as we feel that every new mother, regardless of income, can benefit from the educational aspects of the baby shower, the supplies and the opportunity to connect with local resources. At the event, parents will get a chance to meet exhibitors from a wide variety of community agencies and organizations. While the parents enjoy a light lunch, presentations are given by local doctors and nurses about topics including breastfeeding, labor and delivery, baby safety and fatherhood. Each mother is given a laundry basket brimming with baby supplies. We also play baby shower games and have door prize drawings for some fantastic prizes, such as pack and plays, car seats, strollers, swings, etc.
We at the Cabell County Community Baby Shower would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with Kohl's volunteers. Thank you so much for your consideration!
