I’m also looking for 10-15 volunteers to host seed distribution stations across the city. This involves hanging posters with clips on the bottom (that I’ll give you) & keeping the poster stocked with packets of seeds as people take them.

One of the easiest things we can do to help wildlife in cities is plant native plants. We’re going to make this as easy as possible for Philly people this winter/spring by giving them the seeds they need to start.
I need YOUR help prepping those seeds on Dec 17.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.
