Squash Hunger!

with the Greenhouse

A delicious & heartwarming volunteer opportunity

You are invited to Squash Hunger! Farmers from around Pennsylvania are setting aside their excess produce to be transformed into a delicious and nutritious soup for those in need. Please join us in sorting, preparing and freezing a bounty of squash soup. The soup will be donated to the St. Francis of Assisi Parish Soup Kitchen for distribution directly to the those in need in the Allison Hill neighborhood of Harrisburg.
