Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

☼ SLUH Programs Update ☼







Community Garden ~



As of now everything has been approved and signed by the McKay board, city council, and mayor. The hold up is us…what a twist LOL. It seems we need our nonprofit status after all.  How it is going to work is that the City and McKay have the lease agreement and SLUH is going to manage the project under the city. For this to work we must have at least nonprofit status. We will be having a fall garden class once the garden is completed and allowing fall gardening for those who are interested.



Farmer’s Market ~



As with the Garden we must have nonprofit status & insurance for our event permit with the city. We are hoping for a Fall Farmer’s Market ;-)





Foodpool ~



We are now taking volunteers and donations for the foodpool. If you are someone who would like to volunteer a Tuesday morning to collect donations or if you have garden goodies to donate (or anything else for that matter :) get a hold of Jennifer Peterson – SLUH@nctv.com, www.Facebook.com/soaplakeurbanhomesteads, or 509-312-9826



Where we’re at ~



So as of now our SLUH secretary is looking into all the legalities of it all to make sure we have the right nonprofit status appropriate to operate our programs (we must come up with the green dough as well ;-). We appreciate everyone’s patience while remembering we are a group of volunteers wanting to make a difference in our community and are learning as we go. A garden and farmer’s market is new to Soap Lake and are beneficial in so many ways…and we’ll get there!!
