Dear Neighbor,

The 3rd Annual Garden Bucket Sale has been postponed to Thursday, June 15, 2023 from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM. During this time you can pick up a Garden Bucket, visit some health and nutrition community resource vendors, and even sign up to help support the community gardens at Goodwin Elementary, and the ECLC at Hockanum Elementary. 

Local community resources vendors will share health & nutrition information, recipe ideas, family events happening during the summer months, and free summer meal sites here in East Hartford.  They will feature UCONN, Intercommunity, Sodexo, and others.  There will be free ShopRite food bags for the first 100 families (supplied by Intercommunity)! 

Garden Buckets let you start a garden on your patio, front steps, or anywhere around your house right in a bucket. Each Garden Bucket has everything you need to grow your own vegetables at home and will be fully prepared with soil, seeds, and come with growing tips! There will be a variety of vegetables available.  

Please help support the East Hartford community with a small donation. There is a $5 suggested donation for one bucket and $10 for three. Any donation amount is appreciated and no one will be turned away. Funds raised will benefit a local food insecurity related effort.
