Raised Garden Beds

 Our teachable garden is in need of several new raised beds to continue growth. FCS is looking for high school students (with the help of their parents) to build new raised beds. Beds will need to be 4x8 (rectangle) and 2ft tall. All beds must be completed by August 10th in order to be installed for fall planting. Students will receive 5 service hours per bed made (many DIY kits and tutorials show it takes 2-4 hours to make this size bed). Families will need to supply all building items. It is fine if it is a kit or you can build your own. There are several YouTube videos as well to help! Please do not fill beds with dirt as we will need to place them in the correct location before that happens.
See photos for examples:

In order to receive credit for your bed(s) you must take a photo with the bed! Once finished email Amanda Anderson and she will direct you on where to deliver it! She or another volunteer will sign your service form once delivered!
Any questions please email Amanda Anderson at amandap.foster@gmail.com

Kernersville Spring Folly-May 4

  The annual Spring Folly Parking Lot Fundraiser in Kernersville is coming up on Friday, May 3 rd and Saturday, May 4 th . The fundraiser is co-organized with Main Street United Methodist Church. They allow us to use their parking lot, help with logistics, and encourage their members to volunteer. While parking is free, donations to Crisis Control Ministry of Kernersville are suggested. The fundraiser last year raised $8-$9k for us! All donations collected support the Kernersville office. The funds raised helped us assist 2,506 residents of Kernersville with emergency assistance last fiscal year. We will be implementing online donations through QR codes this year for the first time ever and hope to raise even more.   Kathy Hoffner, Director of Kernersville Office, and I would love to have NC Leadership Academy students cover one of the volunteer shifts for the parking lot fundraiser this year. Volunteers will help direct parking traffic and collect monetary donations.
