AMURT's Food For All DC initiative runs a food distribution program from the Universalist National Memorial Church at 1810 16th St, NW. FFA provides healthy groceries to 1400 food insecure DC residents every week.

This year, FFA started a food growing garden in the walled courtyard and has grown about 50 basil and Italian parsley plants for distribution to its home-bound clients. The garden program includes a greenhouse, growing stand, electricity for inside lights, and irrigation on a timer. There are three raised beds that currently have lettuce, spinach and kale seedlings.

As a first project, FFA would like to teach apartment dwellers how to grow herbs on southern exposure windowsills. We have volunteers to do the work, but we need someone with expertise in growing herbs and other food plants for ongoing guidance.
