City Greens has recently joined a competition, and has the opportunity to win $15,000! But we need everyone’s help. Monsanto is funding the grants, and if we get the most votes we win. That simple! Please help us use Monsanto money for a truly good food project in St. Louis.

66)    REPEAT EVERY DAY (ONE VOTE PER DAY IS ALLOWED). POST TO FACEBOOK, TWITTER, SEND TO FRIENDS, ETC… VOTING IN ROUND ONE GOES THROUGH AUGUST 26^TH

This $15,000 grant would allow us to: give food away for free (to EBT users especially), expand the reach of City Greens (look into more permanent locations), and overall just extend what City Greens is doing. Thanks so much, and please feel free to ask any questions!
