Four times each year, PCC Natural Markets awards a $1,000 grant to a school or nonprofit that exemplifies the spirit of our local community. PCC’s second grant of 2015 has been awarded to InterIm Community Development Association’s Danny Woo Community Garden. The garden operates a space in the International District where elders can practice farming and gardening from their cultural heritage, as well as teach youth about these cultural histories, while introducing them to gardening.
The PCC grant will specifically be used for more cooking classes as part of the Children’s Garden program as well as help to provide more local and organic produce.
