Community Supported Agriculture: The Greenway Table


Support the soil in this city! If you have not heard, the Greenway Table is hosting
 Community Supported Agriculture for the season.

Community supported agriculture (CSA) connects you, the consumer, directly with your food's producer. Your money is benefiting our organization and contributing to the education of the community about the importance of food choice and local, sustainable agriculture.

Join us- spots are filling fast! For $500, you get 21 weeks of vegetables from the Greenway Table. Beginning in June, you get a box of vegetables from our garden each week. The box will match our harvest and an abundance or shortage in the field will be reflected in your box (you will always get your veggies but some weeks' boxes will be more full than others). Greens, lettuce and spinach in June but tomatoes, squash and peppers in August. We also have a workshare option: 5 hrs/wk for a CSA box.

The pick up will be at the 5Points Market in downtown Cleveland on Thursdays from 4-6. There are three payment options:

1) pay $100 sign up fee and $400 by April 15,

2) pay $100 sign up fee, $250 by April 15 and $160 by June 15, (10 extra for layaway option)

3) pay in full $500

Checks can be payable to the Greenway Table and mailed to PO Box 5382 Cleveland,TN or brought to the garden during the week, OR you can pay online at the website via paypal.

Our mission is to enhance and enable the community with the power of food. We want the upcoming generation to consider the impact of their food choice on health, the environment and the economy. Check out our website or join our face book group for more info: www.thegreenwaytable.org.

Free Tax Return Preparation

HELP US HELP OTHERS!
Free Tax Return Preparation for You by Volunteers
PASS THE WORD!

The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) and the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Programs offer free tax help for taxpayers who qualify. The VITA Program offers free tax help to low- to moderate-income people (generally, $49,000 and below) who cannot prepare their own tax returns. Certified volunteers receive training provided by the IRS to help prepare basic tax returns. All returns are filed electronically (e-file); all services are offered free of charge. Individuals taking advantage of the e-file program will receive their refunds in half the time compared to returns filed on paper – even faster when tax refunds are deposited directly into one's bank account.
Bradley Baptist Association’s volunteers will primarily seek to assist individuals and families with limited English proficiency. Preparers at this site are fluent in Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian. All other sites will assist English-speakers only.

The Compassionate Friends: Grief and Loss Resource

Grief Support After the Death of a Child


“The Compassionate Friends is about transforming the pain of grief into the elixir of hope. It takes people out of the isolation society imposes on the bereaved and lets them express their grief naturally. With the shedding of tears, healing comes. And the newly bereaved get to see people who have survived and are learning to live and love again.”
                              —Simon Stephens, founder of The Compassionate Friends

The mission of The Compassionate Friends is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child of any age and to provide information to help others be supportive.
