Food for Thought presents:
Great Changes at the Jefferson County Food Bank
with Board President Roland Faragher-Horwell
Tuesday, June 9, 6:00-7:00 pm
What’s been happening at the Food Bank this past year? Board President Roland Faragher-Horwell will discuss recent and upcoming changes to how JCFBA acquires, manages, and distributes food to its customers.
Appreciation for home gardeners’ donations and the best way to bring them to the Food Bank will be highlighted.
This free series offered by Quimper Grange #720, examines "all things food & growing” in our area. For over 100 years, this Grange has supported the Jefferson County community through public programming, concerts, dance, rental space, and a 7,000 ft² Food Bank Garden, donating produce to help mitigate food insecurity. The Grange is at 1219 Corona Ave, PT.

Garden Notes
June 2026
IT'S COMPLETED!
The lean-to storage shed celebrated the last roof panel installation with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week!
After new drainage was installed through the Quimper Grange's parking lot and a gravel pad installed, a lean-to style shed was constructed by our amazing maintenance crew of Bill, Dave, JJ and Steve. They came up with the design and installation of this solid storage area for all our large tools, pots, hoses, surplus lumber, etc. This will make the Garden's jobs much safer and easier.
Before and after pictures will follow in coming months when everything has been moved and organized.
This project was funded in part by Food Bank Growers and by private donations.
Thank you Everyone!
