Uniting Chico's Bellies
The bad news is that I meant to plug tonight's GRUB benefit at the Chico Peace and Justice Center, and I simply forgot (it started 3 and a half hours ago). So for those of you who missed out on eating yummy food, hearing great music, and meeting some cool people because I spaced out, I extend my most sincere apologies.
The good news is that there were still well over 100 smiling folks in attendance (perhaps 200?), as Francine the publicity queen did a terrific job of getting the word out via flyers, radio, and word of mouth.
GRUB is a homegrown (and growing), Chico movement with the simple goal of feeding the community by planting local vegetable gardens.
And they are succeeding.
Getting involved is easy: GRUB volunteers are out working in a garden every day of the week. No green thumb necessary. All you need is a smile on your face and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
They are also looking for donations any garden-related equipment, including seeds, tools, drip-line, or garden space.
