All AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps. NCCC has helped community gardens throughout the US. I know that in the Sacramento area they have been a tremendous help with school and community gardens, building raised beds, spreading 100s of yards of wood chips, and helping weed and plant fruit trees etc... all this with a great can do attitude!

Thank you Bill Maynard Sacramento www.savenccc.org **** Hello friends, I am writing to inform you of some very disturbing news. Today, the President announced his budget. In this budget, he proposed cutting the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps. I was a Corps Member and Team Leader in the NCCC and it has a deep place in my heart. I owe a great deal of who I am today to my NCCC experiences. The thought that it will not be around is deeply disturbing to me and I plan to fight to save it. As a former or current NCCC project sponsor, you understand the valuable service NCCC teams provide to communities in need. I encourage you to join me in this fight. Please forward this message to other NCCC alumni and friends. Please visit www.savenccc.org for information on how you can get involved. Please reply to this email if you would like to be added to our mailing list, otherwise you will receive no further messages. I thank you for your consideration and together we can SAVE the NCCC! Yours in service, Thomas Howard, Jr. Class IV CM, Charleston Class IX TL, DC ______________________________________________________ The American Community Gardening Association listserve is only one of ACGA's services to community gardeners.
