DCM Needs Your Help! We are excited to announce the Rose Avenue Urban Farm Project, DCM's 2023 environmental initiative... To Our Friends and Family, DCM Needs Your Help About Rose Avenue Urban Farm We are excited to announce the Rose Avenue Urban Farm Project, DCM's 2023 environmental initiative. DCM has secured the lease at 59-61 Rose Avenue to create an urban farm. The farm is the only urban farm in the Greenville neighborhood of Jersey City, which is one of the most underserved communities in the City. The property is currently being transformed from an overgrown trash collector into an urban farm, to be open year-round. The farm will not only be used for farming fruits and vegetables for the local food pantry, but it will also be an educational space for farming techniques.   How It Started How It's Going How It Will Be   As you can see, we are working diligently to make this much needed dream a reality, and we need your help to do that. Planting must be completed by April 22nd to ensure our plants grow to synchronize with the season, and we need supplies to make that happen. Thank you for your generosity and continued support. Other than monetary help, we also need volunteers! If you can donate your time, we would be grateful. Please click here if you are interested in volunteering. Thank you again for all of your support and we hope to see you all at our Annual Gala on June 1, 2023!   Your friends at DCM Donate to our GoFundMe! Donate to our Amazon Wishlist!
