A heartfelt thank you to Keith Shiner, The Shiitake Project, and everyone who came out to Concert in the Trees last weekend!

We’re so grateful for your continued support of SIRCH and for everyone who attended, donated and helped make the evening such a success.

What an amazing community we have!Well folks that was a cold rainy Concert in the Trees! Thanks for those who braved the elements.

So far between money collected on the water and those who have donated online at SIRCH, we are at about $1200!!!

We are still accepting donations. Please use the drop down and select Concert in the Trees so we can track it.

Next in our Summer Staff Spotlight series is 𝐄𝐦𝐦𝐚 𝐇𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧, one of our dedicated School’s Cool instructors.

Emma is currently studying Early Childhood Education and hopes to become a classroom teacher. Throughout the summer, she has brought patience, enthusiasm, and genuine care to the children in School’s Cool, helping them build confidence and prepare for the classroom in September.

In Emma's words:
“𝘈𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘌𝘊𝘌 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘹 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥.

Fresh produce is beginning to arrive, and we’re on track for a wonderful growing season.

A big thank you to our volunteer growers who are already bringing in their harvests for SIRCH’s Food Security Programs. Every zucchini, bean and bundle of greens helps us prepare nutritious meals for people in our community.

There is still plenty more growing and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings!
