I've forwarded your request to the Community Gardening List Serve for
suggestions from all the hundreds of CG experts there.

ACGA is currently not able to dispense monetary help, but we applaud your
efforts!

Subject: Fresno Community Gardens project

Greetings,

Fresno, CA has a network of community gardens that have been sponsored by
churches and non-profits organizations to help the south-east asian families
grow thier own food.
There are currently 14 sites throughout Fresno representing about 250
families.
We find ourselves at the end of a 3 year grant which funded a full-time
coordinator and provided each sponsoring agency with money for water and
equipment costs.  Many of the families are considered extremely low-income
and we see this project as a way to help these people get services and be
empowered.

My question is whether the American Community Gardening Association would
have any resources to help us find additional funding, or even in-kind
support.  We would also like to be recognized by the ACGA so that other
gardens and programs can see what we have been doing.

Thank you.
