Volunteers recently joined forces at the Frenchtown Urban Farm and Compost Community to support gardening, composting, and environmental stewardship efforts through a partnership with the Southeastern African American Farmers Organic Network (SAAFON) and. Volunteers assisted with building a compost sifting device, clearing garden rows, removing weeds, and maintaining the garden to help create a healthier growing environment for the community.

The project also highlighted the power of community involvement and intergenerational learning, as volunteers of all ages worked side by side to promote sustainable gardening practices and healthy food systems. Through hands-on experiences like these, FAMU Extension continues to strengthen communities while encouraging environmental awareness and community pride.
