Phone TROUBLE!
Dear friends of GRuB – there was a power outage in our neighborhood Thursday night and it seems to have thrown our phone system out of whack! Due to the holiday weekend we may not be able to get it fixed until early next week. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you in trying to get in touch with us. In the meantime, feel free to email grub@goodgrub.org and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks!

WHY. Finding answers for hunger and poverty
A huge thanks to Sara Franklin from WHY who took time out to visit us on her tour of NW organizations doing hunger & sustainability work. She put together a great article.
<!--GRuB was honored with a Resolution from the Washington State Senate on 4/21 in support of our work!
--> <!--Thanks so much for the positive response to our recent story on King 5 News! To save you a little time as you look into getting a garden of your own, we want to clarify that we currently build gardens in Thurston & Mason counties only and are now adding names to our 2010 waiting list. Time permitting, we're happy to provide links to resources for other communities if available (just a few are listed below). In the meantime, please take a look at our how-to page for building your own, you can do it!!

Ever wonder how we manage to build so many KGP gardens? If you build as many as we do, you get it figured out after a while. If you've been thinking about creating a little food security for yourself in these trying economic times, take a look at these instructions on how you can do it yourself, the Kitchen Garden Project way!

Kitchen Garden Project profiled on KING 5
Volunteers and staff from GRuB's Kitchen Garden Project were interviewed for a news segment while building a backyard garden in Shelton on April 1st (in the snow, no less!) You can view the video here. You can also find out how to build your own backyard garden, or help support the Kitchen Garden Project.
