We are excited to be making progress on our outdoor Katie’s Krops classroom located in our flagship garden in Summerville, South Carolina. Weather permitting, we are slated to start offering fun educational programming in a safe outdoor setting in February. This is truly a dream come true! Stay tuned for updates and how you can sign up for classes in our beautiful classroom.

“Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is Monday, January 15, 2018. It is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service – a “day on, not a day off” – and is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to work together to help solve our most pressing problems.”

Thanks to The Allstate Foundation & Youth Service America, we will host an MLK Day service project to feed our community.  This will be a socially distanced service project that you can do at your home to keep within guidelines.

This spring, we want to provide families struggling with hunger and food insecurity in our community vegetable seedlings to grow a small garden at their home to help feed their families. We need your help to do so. We are providing volunteers with everything they need to start seeds at their homes. With a sunny window and a little care, you can help grow the seedlings that will be returned to us in March to distribute at a local food pantry and at our Katie’s Krops Dinner.

If you would like to help with this project:

1.) Please email Stacy@KatiesKrops.com by Thursday, January 14th that you would like to participate using the subject line MLK.

2.) You can pick up your seed starting kits on Saturday, January 16th, from 10 am to 11 am at our flagship garden located at 505 Gahagan Road in Summerville or arrange to pick the kit the following week. Please indicate in your email when you would like to pick up your kit.

3.) We ask that you snap a photo or two along the way and send it to us to share your efforts with our friends at the Allstate Foundation and YSA.

4.) In mid-March, we will start collecting your seedling to share with families across our community. With your help, this summer, families will be enjoying fresh homegrown produce.

We do have a limited number of seed starting kits to share. Thank you for your support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at Stacy@KatiesKrops.com.

We are excited to expand our gardens and the programs we offer in 2021. The winter is the perfect time to work on construction projects in our flagship garden, located in Summerville, South Carolina, along with numerous school-based Katie’s Krops gardens in the Lowcountry. To make this happen, we need volunteers who can help us build raised beds and a composting station, help with small projects in our new outdoor classroom, and create a wash station to keep our volunteers safe and our produce clean. We would love your help to make this happen. You do not need to be a master craftsman, all that is required is the ability to use a saw, a drill, and be self-directed. If you, your family, friends, or coworkers would like to take on a project that will positively impact our community, please reach out to Stacy@KatiesKrops.com. Thank you for your support.

If construction is not in your comfort zone but you have another skill to share please reach out! With you support we can build a better tomorrow.
