Boys and Girls Club Garden

Each year the newest members of the Junior League of Kingston take the lead on a new project that kicks off their leadership training and volunteer experiences with the League.

In 2011 the new member class worked on a community garden for the children at the Boys and Girls Club. League members worked with members of the Boys and Girls Club so that the children could help choose what to plant in the garden and be involved in the project. The Boys and Girls Club has integrated the garden harvest into their plans for healthy cooking classes at the Club, produce for the children to take home to their families, as well as community donations.

The funds for the Boys and Girls Club Garden project were raised through a pancake breakfast fundraiser at Applebee’s.
