More than seventy people
turned out for the Taste of Fall River event at the Elks
Club in the City's North End on January 24, 2015 to support The
Harvest, the Home's Community Garden project. Food from the Atlantic
Sports Bar and Restaurant, Academica,
Aladdin's Pizza, the Pink
Bean, Tequila Lime
Cantina, and eight other local restaurants was donated to assist The
Harvest in raising over $3,000 that night. The project that will provide a
27,000 square foot garden on the grounds of Bay
View, The Home's independent
living facility at 4380 North Main Street. Food harvested from the garden
will benefit both the Bay View residents and local food banks. Kayla
Aguiar, the project's lead coordinator, hopes to get volunteer from the
surrounding area to help achieve The Harvest's mission and goal to help
create a healthier community. Click
