Here are some ways that you can support Feed Dayton:
Volunteer – There are numerous opportunities for people to be involved as volunteers in this program. The more “growers” we have, the more food we can raise. We will also need people to help with harvesting, even if only to supervise those who are “picking”. Other opportunities will be available in pest control, composting, marketing, research, accounting, and much more.
Provide plants – We collecting perennial crop plants such as high quality ever-bearing raspberry, ever-bearing strawberry, rhubarb, and asparagus. We are also offering grape vine pruning services to collect cuttings to be rooted into new grape vines.
Materials – Concrete reinforcing wire will be needed for tomatoes, pea, and bean supports. Organic pest controls such as Neem Oil and BT will be required to prevent insect damage, and corn gluten will be used to help control weed germination.
Equipment – We are in urgent need of a box truck or van to haul materials (compost, manure, leaves, wood chips, harvested crops, etc.). We will gladly advertise your business or organization when you make one available. If you have a vehicle that we could utilize once or twice a week, that would help tremendously too.
Financial Support – Your tax deductible donations can be made via the Dayton Foundation web site. Our fund number is 7204 .
