The Snack Shop Has Run Out of Freezer Space

Calling Out for Help! - Beginning April 20 - Ending April 30.

The Snack Shop
Our not for profit Snack Shop is open six days a week, 12 hours a day.  We offer a variety of snacks, including Kutter's cheese and juices, at very low prices.  Senior citizens live on a fixed budget.  Our goal is to help them stretch their budget so they can afford the occasional treat.
We pack over 100 items in our very small space. The refrigerator is full to capacity with pop, juice, water, and cheese.  The small freezer section has ice cream, Lean Pockets, and breakfast sandwiches. 
Our shopper and stocker is constantly running to the store for more ice cream, especially now that the spring is here.  He is storing extra frozen items in his own freezer for lack of freezer space in the shop.
We are in need of a freezer that will fit into the small space we have. 

I found an apartment size freezer that would fit.  It is just the right size, easy to access by our senior volunteers, and will hold quite a bit of ice cream and other frozen items. 
We're getting our freezer!  Sometimes it is good to have a wish list :)

Community Container Garden

The die is cast.  We have a location for our community garden.  Actually, I like this spot better than the one originally planned.  It is directly in front of the lobby windows.  It will give the lobby watchers something to stare at other than the parking lot.  Don't ask.  It's a long story.
The space is about 8'x6'.  It will be perfect for containers. 
This was the year we were to have raised beds.  It will certainly make working in the garden easier for one of our gardeners who is in a wheel chair.

When there is a will there is a way.   But, I'm putting the cart before the horse.  We have our organization meeting on Friday.  We'll assess what we will need to make this space the perfect garden.
I will put out a call for donations of containers; seeds; plants; top soil; gardening tools, etc.  Someone's trash could very well be our treasures.
This morning, the garden was sitting in the back of my mind and at the bottom of my to do list.  This afternoon, after walking around and deciding on a site, my fingers itch to get into the soil. 
I will concentrate on herbs.  It will be nice to go outdoors and grab what I need to add to the dishes we will make for the residents.  Of course tomatoes; peppers and onions will end up in the community kitchen.  For color, I have to plant at least one or two sunflower plants.
Pictures and stories of the garden will be forthcoming.
In the meantime, my to do list is growing.  Time to get busy.
