Dear Friends, 

Consider the humble collard green. It has been eaten for 2,000 years. It is rich in vitamin C, A and K. Collards are easy to grow and a good source of calcium. And, people throughout the world love them-- collards show up in the cuisines of almost every continent!! Hearty, healthy and delicious..... Don't you want to eat some collards right now? 

Read on for your invitation to try collards five ways! 

In this edition of our newsletter, we share a report on the Summer Reportback, offer a calendar of upcoming events and much much more! 

Happy Almost Fall!

Double Your Money with Charter Oak's Matching Donations

SUMMER REPORT-BACK: 
What We Used to Call FRESHENTATION
It was a dark and stormy day... But families members of the FRESH Summer Youth Crew, FRESH supporters and friends showed up to hear from the Summer Youth Crew participants about what they learned and experienced this summer. It was a lovely day and alot of fun, up until the very end when everyone and everything got completely drenched! 

The young people made a zine to express the lessons, connections and joys of this season. Instead of sharing their speeches, we've selected some of the zine pages to share with you. We've added their pictures! 
How Often Do You Get to Double Your Money?
Charter Oak Matching Program
If you bank with Charter Oak Credit Union and give to FRESH New London, they will match your contribution. 

It takes an extra step, but it isn't much work for you or us. 

Charter Oak will "match all qualified charitable donations YOU make until Wednesday, November 27, 2019." Donations must be at least $25 and will be matched in increments of $25 ($25, $50, $75, and $100, etc.); the credit union will match up to a maximum of $500 per member.
