In honor of my 27th Birthday, I am supporting The Green Heart Project's Back to School Fundraiser, and I am asking for your support! The Green Heart Project is gearing up for its 10th year of Farm to School programs in Charleston. They need to raise $25,000 by September 9 to kick off its partnerships with 6 schools in Charleston County, reaching 1,200 students. My personal goal is to raise $750 towards this goal. Skip all those bday gifts and consider supporting this awesome organization! ;)

The funds will be used to:

1. Prepare school gardens, including soil, mulch, plants, and seeds
2. Purchase program supplies, including culinary kits for cooking lessons, and garden kits featuring hand trowels, gardening gloves, and magnifying glasses for garden lessons.
3. Hire and train seasonal staff. Green Heart's dedicated Garden Educators lead students and volunteers in hands-on learning every week in partner schools.

Together, we can guarantee hands-on, outdoor learning experiences around healthy food for 1,200 students in our city! Learn more about the Green Heart Project at http://www.greenheartsc.org
