Additional volunteers in the Food Justice Garden helped us grow and harvest 300 pounds more produce from May to August this year than in 2018.
From May to August of 2019, Holy Infant volunteers have harvested and donated 1,694 pounds of produce. Last year’s haul during the same months was 1,357 pounds of food.
Included in that total is 131 pounds of produce donated in the same period by parishioners through the Lettuce Pray program. The increased yields combined with the opening of the Durham Community Food Pantry has allowed Holy Infant to donate more produce locally this year.
The top five producers for the months of May through August:
Tomatoes – 404.5 pounds
Squash – 170 pounds
Carrots – 106 pounds
Peppers – 85 pounds
Okra – 81.5 pounds
