Notes from the Field

Summer Fundraisers

As our students tend greenhouses and sow the first seeds of the season, we're going out into the community drum up support for local prison gardens. We hope to see you at one, or all, of these events!

FEAST Mass #14
Saturday, May 6th, 6-9 pm
ds4si, 1946 Washington Street, Floor 2, Boston MA, 02118

Join us for a fresh spring meal while you help support TNGS and celebrate creative projects in our community! During the evening, you’ll hear pitches, including TNGS's, for inspiring projects that need funding. Vote for your favorite, and watch as the winner receives a grant funded entirely from the night's ticket sales. Grassroots crowdfunding at its finest!

Reserve your spot at bit.ly/feast-mass-rsvp. Be sure to bring cash for entrance to the event (FEAST suggests a donation of $15 to cover the cost of the meal and the grant).
