🥒🚨 YOUR ZUCCHINI IS OUT OF CONTROL. 🚨🥒

You know the one.

The zucchini hiding under a leaf that somehow grew to the size of a baseball bat overnight.

The tomato plants producing faster than your family can eat.

The peppers, cucumbers, squash, and green beans taking over your kitchen counters.

Instead of letting that extra produce go to waste, share it with a neighbor.

🌱 Through SIRAC's Community Garden Sharing Program, fresh produce donations help stock our food pantries and put healthy food directly into the hands of local families.

🍅 Tomatoes
🥒 Cucumbers
🌶️ Peppers
🧅 Onions
🌽 Sweet Corn
🥬 Greens
🥔 Potatoes
…and more!

📍 Drop off donations at our food pantries in Shawneetown or Vienna
🕗 Monday–Friday | 8:30 AM–4:30 PM

A few extra vegetables from your garden may not seem like much—but to a family struggling to make ends meet, they can mean fresh meals, better nutrition, and one less thing to worry about.

💚 Grow a little extra. Share a little extra. Feed a neighbor.

🌱🍅🥒🌽💚

What an incredible day at the BRICK Block Party! ❤️

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us today to celebrate families, connection, and community. Seeing families laughing together, creating memories, and building new connections is exactly what the BRICK Program is all about!

A special thank you goes out to our amazing community partners, volunteers, vendors, and supporters who helped make this event possible. When organizations, neighbors, and families come together, we create opportunities for children to thrive, caregivers to feel supported, and communities to become more resilient.

Thank you for helping us make this year’s BRICK Block Party such a success. We are grateful for each and every person who participated, and we look forward to continuing this work together!

💙 Thank you for supporting children.
💙 Thank you for supporting families.

is important for anyone working to provide support to children of addiction (COAs). These programs may be "kids play" but it is hard, demanding, and at times extremely emotional work. NACoA is so grateful to anyone who provides support services to children and families impacted by parental addiction. Please remember to take good care of yourself.
