Capitol Hunger Garden
2011 Hunger Garden Groundbreaking (Fox43)
 Thank you for all those that came out on
Friday, May 7th for the inaugural planting of the Capitol Hunger
Garden. On that day, we had a total of 20 volunteers working to
plant the fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs, all of which will be
donated to our local food banks for those who are hungry. Thanks to
those who came out to help that day and we look forward to seeing
you all back in the future!
Sincerely,
Senator Mike Brubaker and Representative John
Myers
