TESTIMONIALS

Making an impact on individuals.

“Our biggest concern was could we find enough food to handle this growing number
of people seeking food and still maintain a safe distribution practice.
During the pandemic, Capital Roots would come with fresh fruits, vegetables,
dairy products, meats and grains arriving in the nick of time to help resupply
our pantry with much needed resources.”

KATHY

Amen Place Food Pantry

“The community garden was a real life saver this season as a safe place to go to
get some fresh air and exercise, socialize outdoors with safe distancing, and
generally relieve the stress and boredom of the pandemic. The community garden
was particularly soothing, uplifting, and healing this year. The fresh
vegetables were an added bonus.”

CHRISTINE

Community Gardener

“Warmly greeted by young enterprising students as supported by able staff. Just
magnificent at every level—the products—the policy of opportunity and promoting
healthy—and the personalities as senior staff has impacted upon youth such that
they are proud and well informed. It is a model that should be followed
nationally in every urban area.”
