Reimagining public urban space for people.
We will be filming successful volunteer projects in Queens in our parks, green spaces, tree pits and other public areas in order to inspire others to do the same.
Volunteers from the Cornucopia Society and the Queens Coalition for Parks and Green Spaces will clean the area up and plant annuals to spruce up and colorize the area.
More healthy cooking classes! We're looking to fund FOUR children and ONE adult classes right now (5 total)! There is already a list of over 200 kiddies (and growing) eager to get cooking-- let's make it happen!
Volunteers will clean out the area and remove all types of debris so when the the fountains are activated, it will be a clean and pleasing site without garbage floating around.
The goal is for the lesson to be brought to the home! Getting children involved in the cooking process, increasing awareness of healthy, nourishing food, and getting the whole family to cook together and eat together.
