The generous folks at Phoenix Hardwoods will donate 5% to Plenty.

Thanks to Sweet Providence all our neighbors who want Christmas trees will get a delivery this season.  And the wonderful women at ZION LUTHERAN Church are making cookies and ornaments to share too.  Tis the season.

It keeps on coming!  We are delivering Floyd's abundance of winter produce and meats to folks in the county who have no transportation or have small children.  If you want to share your extra please bring it to Plenty! at 177 Webbs Mill Road (north on Route 8).  If we're not there you can leave it on the porch and we'll get it into the cooler.  You'd be amazed how happy people are to see us.  Even if we only bring a head of letttuce neighbors like Edith say, "Oh, that's so beautiful.  I can hardly wait to have a fresh salad with my dinner.  That's just the prettiest head of lettuce I've seen."  Thank you to all the neighbors who share your harvest and to those who share your hearts.

Deanna Swortzel is the Childhood Obesity Prevention Specialist for Floyd County.  She will be working with community partners to assess current programs and create a strategic plan to improve children's health for the future.  Deanna is already hard at work with Plenty! to look at our community garden programs and healthy snacks. Other programs already active in Floyd County are Farm to School, Literacy, Eating and Activities for Preschoolers, Nutrition Education at Department of Social Services and Indian Valley Elementary, so she will be a busy gal.  The strategic plan will be unveiled for community comment in January.

If you'd like to help with these projects email plenty@swva.net.
