Thinking about End-of-the-Year teacher gifts? Consider making a donation to the Outdoor Classroom and Garden to honor a teacher. It's a great way to give back to the community, while leaving a lasting reminder of your gratitude. Donations can be made in any amount in support of an OCG item. Upon request, the CSA will send a personalized note card to the teacher. Contact Julie Vitale if you have any questions. Note: donation amounts will NOT be disclosed. |

Support Ukranian RefugeesAscentria Services for New Americans is one of the few New England organizations welcoming and supporting refugee families from around the world. Since last September, they have resettled 600 Afghan evacuees in this area and just recently helped settle 100 Ukranians in Massachusetts, with plans to help many more Ukranian families over the coming months. We reached out to Ascentria and they identified two types of support that would be most helpful right now. Gift cards to grocery stores (Stop and Shop) and places like Target to purchase household items and groceries. Any amount is welcome, and you can drop your gift card in the Pine Hill lobby, or mail to Ascentria, 425 Union Street, West Springfield, MA 01809 Household essentials. Please use their Amazon Wishlist (linked here) to donate items such as bedding, plates, glassware, and more that will help Ukrainian and Afghan families get settled in their new homes!
