Featured Volunteer

For Dennis Marsh, the benefits of being the volunteer coordinator for the Founders Community Gardens reach beyond simply encouraging friends and neighbors to be more healthy and self-sufficient. For Marsh, it’s downright therapeutic. “When I’m working with the soil, I feel like I’m being healed,” the Dayton resident says. “I believe this is what the creator intended for us—growing our own food and putting just the goodness that comes out of the Earth into our bodies.”
