A couple months ago I went to an event hosted by Gardening Matters, where I met Kayla. Kayla is a community member of the Dayton’s Bluff area and she is a community gardener for St. Paul Park. At the event, Kayla mentioned that the East Side Prosperity Campaign (ESPC) is starting a health and wellness hub. That got my interest so I decided to look into this hub further.
Starting this spring, ESPC will be launching their health
and wellness hub for the East Side; they’re teaming up with Gardening Matters. The hub will potentially provide low cost plants and seeds for members and will
be focused on recruiting community members with food access barriers.
Eventually the health and wellness hub will possibly provide classes on
gardening, farming and cooking.
I think it’s very cool that the East Side will be getting a
health and wellness hub. It is so important, in achieving prosperity, to
educate community members so that they can provide food not only for themselves
but possibly for their neighbors. Extra food that is grown in your very own back
yard can be donated to the food shelf, if you end up with too much produce.
This produce can help other families in need and as a community we are here to
help and support each other in achieving prosperity.

East side, please click here.
