Neighborhood Trade Stand
Green Thumb member Jennie started a Trade Stand for produce, pantry items and home goods. Her stand has since grown with a Book Nook built and donated by a volunteer in the neighborhood. There is even a refrigerator on the porch. Stop by 137 West Hight Street! Donations are welcome and if anyone is truly in need the produce is free.
