I enjoyed what veggies I got. Couldn't enjoy the whole season of fresh veggies as had no transportation to meet up. I live in Richmond and it was to far for delivery. But the few times that I did get to have the vegetables they were great as it had been a long time for me having fresh veggies.
I was so thankful to hear about "Food For The Cure" as I was dealing with breast cancer. I strongly believe that the nutritional value of these organic foods help our bodies to fight back against the assault of disease and the treatment! To be provided with such highly nutritional and fresh food at NO CHARGE was an immense blessing! I'm sure that such things are outside of the budget of many people and to have it delivered to your door... what can I say?! It was fantastic! And I am thankful! Good job FFTC and KEEP GROWING!
Working as a volunteer for Food for the Cure has been an amazing experience. I have witnessed the love and care that is given to the organically grown produce. This organization is run by passionate people who truly want to bring health and healing to cancer patients. I am excited to see this organization grow and I’m blessed to be a part of it.
As a volunteer and friend of the garden, I have to say I love Food For the Cure. Andrew, our founder's, story was very inspiring to me, as I also have a mom who was terminally ill. What he has done in her memory is very noble, and it benefits not only the many wonderful patients we serve, but us volunteers as well. The garden fosters a friendly environment where people can come and enjoy the outdoors, getting their hands dirty, and learn about growing great organic food, while knowing their efforts are towards an amazing and tangible cause. Andrew, his wife Molly, and everyone else are also all very understanding of shifting time commitments. They are flexible and work closely with volunteers to help meet their scheduling needs, so that the garden can continue to be bountiful without it negatively impacting people's lives outside it. They are also unendingly respectful of their beneficiaries. They communicate with them about preferences regarding what foods they would enjoy, what we should grow, and how we can respect their privacy. Knowing this group has made my life so much richer and happier. I am lucky to know them.
