The Squirrel Hill Produce to Pantry Volunteer Garden, located in the backyard of Anathan House at 1640 Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill, broke ground in early spring of 2013 and provides fresh, locally-grown produce for clients at SHCFP. As a fellow at Repair the World: Pittsburgh I assisted SHCFP staff members in all areas of garden operations, from breaking ground and planting produce to community outreach and volunteer coordination and preparing for the garden’s first harvests. To date, volunteers have planted and cultivated produce including green beans, tomatoes and other seasonal vegetables, which will all be distributed to clients at SHCFP along with their regular groceries.
