The Mission Continues Boston Platoon will be hosting a service project with Mill City Grows at the Pawtucket Farm Wildlife Sanctuary to commemorate Veterans Day.

Pizza for lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Mill City Grows creates and manages community gardens where residents can grow their own food. They create urban farms where their team grows thousands of pounds of food that are distributed throughout each of Lowell’s neighborhoods. Mill City Grows also partners with Lowell Public Schools to install gardens and provide garden and nutrition education through their School Garden Program. They train gardeners on urban agriculture and community leadership through their educational programs. Mill City Grows also increases access to food locally with their Mobile Market.
