COMPOST 2022 Volunteer Project at SFC

Despite a questionable weather forecast, the Volunteer Committee lead a group of nine volunteers to the Sustainable Food Center. There they met Liz Cardinal, who gave a history and tour of of the St. David's Foundation Community Center and an overview of the Sustainable Food Center's mission: to transform the food system to nourish Austin's health, land and livelihood. Over the next several hours, the volunteers worked to change sun-faded educational signs, recover nutrition-rich soil from old raised beds, and construct three new raised beds. All-in-all, the group was told they knocked out several months of work in just a few hours! Thank you so much to all who participated, and to the members of the planning committee: Eric Schneider, Aaron Friedman-Heiman, Sam Laveson, and Jana Pearce.
