The Problem

Pepin Academies is a public charter school for children with learning disabilities. This project would entail building a community garden on campus for students to gain practical skills and to support the school Pack a Sac program. The Pack a Sac program provides meals to low-income students who otherwise battle hunger and access to quality sourced foods. Students will play a hands-on role in the development and maintenance of the garden.
