First, I would like to thank UCHICAGO UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER for setting into motion the Outstanding Community Mentor award and the recognition it brings to it's recipient. I would also like to thank my Nominator for the award recommendation. THANK YOU!

Growing people as you grow food isn’t about what you plant - - its about what you GROW! For us at the Englewood Veterans Garden this means growing food, of course. However, it also means growing friendships and building community, creating a safe haven in a part of the city where many people are fearful to spend time with their family outdoors.

The work developing the projects with the Englewood Veterans garden with UCHICAGO VOLUNTEERS is symbolic of Englewood and our community history – we are grounded in Chicago’s development and deeply rooted in our agriculture heritage and community commitment.

WE ALL CAN BE agents of change in the transformation of communities as we volunteer our time and as we engage with each other to affirm that every resident who lives in Englewood matter!

I accept this award in the knowing that our collective efforts as residents and student volunteers are really “Making a Difference” in the work we do daily in making Englewood a more viable community!
