Progress on The Community Center

The Community Center is coming together. We are still trying to raise money for renovations and city STUFF. Slowly but surely we will be there. I had no idea we would have to spend so much on permits...not to mention a conditional use hearing will cost $1100. Next up is the heating and cooling system. Doors should be on the open room(Store Building)Friday. I will post pics when they are up. We had to put the store on the back burner for now. Lack of funds. But the idea is to use it as a rec room with pool table and ping pong. We will also be able to hold larger meetings and use it for some of our events.

Our first year Home Garden. It was our side yard....but you can't eat grass. It is growing very well.

3rd Annual BackPack and School Supply Giveaway

Back to School Time is Approaching!!



Time to Start Planning our



3rd Annual BackPack and School Supply Giveaway

August 29, 2010



We are calling on the "Friends of GSCC" again

to assist with this very important event.



We plan on distributing approximately 150 fully stocked backpacks this year and we hope that our supporters can find it in their heart to donate either cash or items from the list below. Any amount or quantity will help us. Our budget is very limited, but the need is growing. We want to help the children get a good start in their school year.



Many stores like WalMart have begun their school supply sales and items can be purchased for really low prices. These sales change week to week, but supplies will diminish quickly.



More information on the 3rd Annual BackPack and School Supply Giveaway will be forthcoming in the near future, but please try to help us out if you can. To donate goods, choose from the list below and call Mark at 313-452-0684 or Phyllis at 586-915-8946 to arrange for pick-up or drop-off at the Garden.



To donate through Paypal please go to our blog: georgiastreetgarden.blogspot.com
