LCR Announces Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region as project beneficiary for community gardens in Arbor Hill

LCR class members will perform every aspect of the project from clearing land to pouring soil, assembling beds, planting vegetables, and raising $25,000 in community support. Together we will build 15 gardens for Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region as its annual class project. The goal is to support Trinity Alliance’s immediate and long-lasting promise to make healthy food accessible to everyone in Albany’s underserved communities.
