Hello everyone! My name is Mercedes Rodriguez and I’m a teacher in southeast Fresno (CA). I have taken on the role of being a club sponsor for the gardening club on our campus! One of my class of 2026 seniors took on the project of creating a community garden and we are in the works of making this project come to life!

Our hopes with this project are to grow and provide fresh fruits and vegetables to our community alongside the full-choice food pantry we host every third Wednesday of the month on our campus. Any monetary donations will be put to good use and will buy all of the supplies that we need in order to keep this project going for years to come. Thank you.
