A Bump in the Road-Help us Rebuild
Donation protected
Today is the last day of school!
We are only $645 away from our final goal currently.
Let's get the final amount raised by the end of the day.
Donate (if you haven't already), AND SHARE. Share several times today. We can only get there with your help.
Thank you all for such an amazing campaign!
WOW!!!!
You helped us reach $2300 in less than 24 hours.
Because the support has been so strong and fast, we are raising our goal to $5000 to add on the following needs...
$1000 to purchase much needed out reach supplies (a banner, a table cloth, business cards, brochures, flyers, signs, t-shirts, etc.) for our presence at Farm to Fork Festival, Earth Day, our own plant sales, Multicultural Education Festival, and many other community events we attend. Currently we show up with handwritten signs and no info to pass out. This will be a very helpful addition to our program.
$600 to help cover materials for our first SummerGarden Program starting June 26, 2017.
$1000 to help with operating costs for the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year.
Just a Bump in the Road...
The Burbank Urban Garden needs your help, and we need it as quickly as possible.
This school year has been incredible. The garden has never looked better. We have never engaged so many excited students. We have never raised more money. We have never grown so efficiently.
We have never attracted so much attention. The attention has been overwhelmingly positive.
However, we have also recently attracted vandals and thieves.
In the past month, theft and vandalism has occurred, and is rapidly increasing. A roto-tiller, large potted fruit trees, young fruit trees from the ground, pepper plants, soil supplements, garden tools, a garden cart, and irrigation materials have been stolen. Our greenhouse was broken into, and plastic paneling was damaged. There have been repeated attempts to break into our barn which holds all of our tools, including many which are very expensive.
A police report has been filed, and we are increasing security measure by replacing locks and adjusting gates to secure and protect the garden to help prevent this from happening in the future.
We need to send a message to our community that this is just a bump in the road. We will not be stopped. We have too big and supportive a community to let this distract us from our growth.
We need to raise $2300 dollars to replace the stolen items and pay for repairs.
With your timely response, we can make this set back almost insignificant.
If you would rather pay us directly, we can take cash or checks written out to LBHS. Put BUG in the memo. You can mail or drop off the checks at…
