What CJ Greene has done so far to help with the "Food Insecurity" issue in Guilford County:

• October 2015 - "Feeding Our Friends" - a luncheon for staff and invited guests in exchange for non-perishable food items.
• November 2015 - We wrote a grant and were awarded $300 from Guilford County School's Gifts of Giving to begin Greene's Giving Garden.
• December 2015 - We went to Four Seasons Town Centre where two of our students and Principal Kristy Davis accepted the gift; then we got busy starting Greene's Giving Garden.
• December 2015 - Mrs. Wilson's class held several food drives in exchange for a raffle with the winner receiving a delicious dessert.
• January 2016 - Staff attended the day-long event at Four Seasons Town Centre on Martin Luther King, Jr.. Day talking about our Greene's Giving Garden and displaying our tri-fold board filled with great pictures of students starting a garden.  Planted seedlings to grow indoors.
• February 2016 - Staff submitted a Promising Practices grant to Washington, DC for recognition of our efforts.
• created our own CJ Greene Food Pantry and awesome logo
