Pepsi Refresh Deliverables

This is what we will do if we receive the $50,000 community grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project:

• Transform a vacant 2.3 acre lot (adjacent to the Family Resource Center and sharing a fenceline with Happy Camp Elementary) into a self-sustaining organic fruit, vegetable and flower garden and green space.
• Create a Wheelchair Accessible greenspace, by building nearly a half-mile of concrete ramps and walkways, benches, and raised planting beds with seeding platforms.
• Build a safe area for seniors to walk.
• Rent out a multi-use space, for craft shows, farmer's markets, etc.
• Provide "Adopt-a-pot" and "Adopt-a-plot" private gardening areas, with proceeds going to creating nutritional and educational opportunities for the local Elementary School and Emergency Food Bank (both within 100 yards).
• Grow organic produce for the Senior Meal Program.
• Elementary School class participation in planting and harvesting.
• Surpluses will be canned, juiced, jammed and dried for sale in our open air market.
• Build Two Greenhouses, one commercial and one educational, for acclimatized vegetable and flower starts. Both need to be snow-load compliant and securable.

We know it's fairly ambitious for such a small amount of money, but we are confident that we will have the full support of the community behind us.
