Interns Are Growing, Giving Away Food

PictureRosie shows off her new Summer UNITY T-shirt by the flowers in Sheldon Oak's community garden at 134 Nelson Street
Sheldon Oak's youth interns are beautifying Northeast Hartford through their hard work in our community garden. While many people might lament the rainy summer we've seen in Hartford, the plants are thriving. Flowers are blooming, vegetables are ripening, and our interns are learning skills and building friendships.

The interns have also built and painted a fully enclosed food pantry, which they plan to install Saturday by Sheldon Oak's Johnson-Stewart Community Center at 127 Martin Street. This pantry will become the newest of several such pantries scattered throughout Hartford, which are stocked with community donations and where the food is available for free to all those who need it.

Sheldon Oak's internship program is a partnership with Summer of Solutions, made possible through a grant from Hartford's Summer UNITY program. Our interns will be gardening, providing mutual aid, and learning through workshops for several months to come.
