"Bring what you got, put it in the pot, we're making stone soup!"
Last week our Valley Educational Gardens Initiatives (VEGI) Program hosted STONE SOUP at Alamosa Elementary School! 🥕 One of the main highlights was the making of the soup, led by Don Hanna! During this stage, each class got to contribute vegetables that they had harvested and (carefully) chopped during one of their VEGI gardening lessons.
Thank you to all our volunteers, Alamosa Elementary School and Mullen High School for helping bring this event to life! And of course, a shoutout to VEGI, a program of La Puente that focuses on cultivating garden-based nutrition education for youth in the San Luis Valley and offers hands-on lessons in the community throughout the year!

We're still reflecting on our Candlelight Vigil we hosted last week. Over 60 people from the community joined in solidarity to walk amongst those experiencing homelessness. It was a transformative and educational night filled with community speakers, live music, and fellowship.
Special thanks to our speakers, our performers, 68 WMullen High Schoolchool, and Sacred Heart Catholic Church for their contributions!
