The Mayor's Day of Service "Good Food Day"


The day started out drizzly and ended even wetter, but a brave and dedicated crowd of 130 people came to be a part of Westchester's first community garden with plot membership on a school campus. There was music, food, and great people coming together for a great cause. Take a look at the many things happening in  the garden.
