As part of a “Season of Renewal” outreach project, First Presbyterian Church of Chili has donated a fertilizer spreader and seeder to Homesteads for Hope, which is located on Manitou Road. The spreader was delivered on March 27 so that it could be used immediately for spring projects on the community farm. Chili First is raising funds to cover the cost of the spreader. Farm Manager, Chris Krivanek, was there on delivery day to receive the spreader.
First Presbyterian Church of Chili’s Season of Renewal Team chose Homesteads for Hope because it is a hidden jewel in our neighborhood. It offers jobs and training for people with all abilities who wish to participate in the various activities of farming as well as all kinds of events and activities for the community to enjoy throughout the summer. There is truly something for everyone at Homesteads for Hope – a Farm Store, scheduled community events throughout the summer, music and food every Thursday for families to picnic and watch the sunset over the Erie Canal, a barn to rent for private functions, and much more. People can purchase seasonal Social Memberships, Garden Memberships, and CSA Membership. Each one has various “perks.” For more information, visit https://www.homesteadsforhope.org.
