WOW!!! So much happening at the farm today!!!
🧑‍🌾 First, a shout out to my new favorite Farmer and Friend, Matt Biver. He’s been busy outloading beans from the silo! He’s surely welcome back on the Farm anytime!
⚒️Next, today’s crew of Farmhands has successfully finished demo on the future Art Barn, while our fearless “Jack and MASTER of all TRADES, Will, climbed scaffolding to work on exterior renovation while the paint crew power washed!
💪 And finally, our granite arrived for the kitchen!
💗 Last, but never least, Julie persists in making every inch of wall and trim paint perfect 🖌️Jim and Julie are the heartbeat of this project. 💗

THIS SATURDAY!

We are SEEKING VOLUNTEERS! We could really use your help.

Spend this Saturday at The Farm and help us get it ready for the kids and families KSBH serves.

We're hosting a volunteer work day on Saturday, June 6 from 9 to 3. PLEASE NOTE, as The Farm is an active construction site we are requesting all volunteers be 18 years old or older.

Gardening, yard work, clean-up, a few hands-on projects, the kind of work that makes a real difference in how the space feels when someone walks through the gate. Lunch is on us.

Bring work gloves, sturdy shoes, and a willingness to get a little dirt under your nails.

Sad statistic published by the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention.

How do we affect statistics like this? We treat individuals and families BEFORE the situation becomes a crisis! Please don’t ignore a change in behaviors, moods, engagement with others.  The best way to affect outcomes is to take mental health concerns seriously. Get help. Whether it is at KSBH or somewhere else, we are here to support you.

We know that the first step, picking up that phone, is the hardest. We’ve got you!! 618-624-5771.

We love having something to celebrate! Currently, we have raised $460,000 toward our $650,000 goal, and that number represents a lot more than dollars.

It’s people like you showing up, believing in our mission, and wanting something better for our community.

Thank you to every single person who’s contributed time or funds to our campaign so far, but we’re not done yet! Explore the campaign and donate here:
