Cooking & Gardening with Common Threads
Hello and happy March! This month, we completed our veggie stir fry cooking lesson and began moving back into gardening. If you’re interested in getting involved with garden lessons please contact me: ruby@commonthreadsfarm.org. If your student enjoys gardening and cooking, check out Common Threads' Spring and Summer break camps! Need-based scholarships are available. Visit https://commonthreadsfarm.org for more info.

P.P.S. We are currently accepting AmeriCorps applications!
Did you know that April 1, 2020 is Census Day?
The U.S. Census Bureau will send you an invitation to respond online to the 2020 Census between March 12-20. Responding to the Census helps our community get its fair share of funding. Census data guides how more than $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to states and communities each year for schools, health care facilities, roads, transportation, recreation centers, social services and more.
Starting in March 2020, everyone living in your home needs to be counted. That includes children and newborn babies, citizens and noncitizens, relatives and nonrelatives, and even those staying with you temporarily. You can complete the Census online, by phone or by mail. Your responses are safe and secure. The law requires the U.S. Census Bureau to keep your information confidential, and your responses cannot be used against you in any way.
Learn more about how you can shape your future at 2020census.gov.
