Thank you for your support through this learning experience. The kids talk about the garden at home and are excited to come and see it everyday. We are so happy. This experience has changed our lives forever.

Taking root has been an awesome experience, not only for my daycare kiddos, but for myself as well. I appreciate Our Daily Bread helping with the funding of feeding my babies! The garden has been great at teaching the kiddos what we can grow and eat. We get so excited when we see things start to bloom. I think I get the most excited and I can't wait for next year! It will be BIGGER and BETTER! Thanks Our Daily Bread CACFP!
