Save Willard's Gardening & Cooking Program
Located next to busy Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley California is a magical farm and cooking program that feeds and nourishes over 500 middle school children. Federal funding for this amazing community resource was cut. We can't let our garden become a mound of weeds like our pool. Let's keep our children healthy and well nourished in body and soul.
