209 pounds of food harvested this week for the food pantry! There may be a couple more smaller harvests, but so far this year Double Oak farm has provided 2,874 pounds of FRESH food to local families. Special thanks to our 2022 farm volunteers!

You can help! Work on the farm will be revving up in the spring and we can always use more volunteers. Submit your interest here: https://www.acltweb.org/index.php/volunteer/

If you don't have time to volunteer, consider making a donation to ACLT to support our efforts, such as Double Oak Farm, where we use environmentally friendly and sustaining farming methods to provide fresh produce to those with food insecurity.
