1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place?

The project consisted of members of The City Heights Rotaract Club donating time and materials to a community garden within City Heights. 10 of our members arrived early in the morning to deliver the wheelbarrows, weedwackers, and lawn bags to the garden and got to work cleaning out overgrown space to be used to expand the garden's useable area. This event took place in San Diego, CA

2. How many people benefited from this project? 150+

3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met?

The garden had approx. 60 plots of land that were being used by families that immigrated from various countries to support them in their effort to provide healthy food for their families and continue the traditions from where the families came from. While the garden was great, new tools were needed to ensure that the land and crops were accessible to the users.

4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? 10

5. What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project.

Cleared out an area that was overgrown with non-native species to increase the usable area for the users. Rehabilitated used furniture to be used as a meeting space for farmers.
