MITZVAH OF THE WEEK:

Help support Adopt-A-Farmbox! The Adopt-A-Farmbox initiative is a program that builds and donates farmboxes made from 100% recycled materials to local schools and community institutions for the purpose of growing food. This is a call to reconnect with food: to create, to prosper, and to flourish through sustainable agriculture. They have a goal of reaching $10,000 on kickstarter.com, which means the project will only be funded if at least $10,000 is pledged by Saturday, September 11th at 11:45pm. Please support this innovative and exciting cause at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1771434405/adopt-a-farmbox. If you have a skill/item/idea for the silent auction, please contact jenniegoldfarb@gmail.com. And if you are in the NYC area, come to the event on Sep. 11th in Brooklyn. Details TBA. Check them out at www.farmboxes.org.
