Thank you all so much for your support!

We've made a lot of progress on the bus this past week, including planting the rooftop garden, harvesting our first cucumber, painting the bus, and making headway on the waste veggie oil conversion. Here are some photos from the last workday- check out the website (www.nourishmeant.org) for new blog posts and photo slideshows!
