Goodness Grows News

Newsletter #30

Join us for a GG fundraiser at Diletto Winery in Boardman the night before Thansksgiving, November 27, from 6-9pm, complete with a basket raffle. The local band “On the Rocks“ will be playing at 6:30. Come out and enjoy some relaxation with good friends, good food, and

​good music for a good cause! We hope to see you there!

Basket raffle donations are needed. If you would like to put together a basket from yourself, your organization, or your business, please let us know. All donations very much appreciated! We love to share donations and information on our Facebook page, website, and in our newsletter.

Our fall time with the amazing students and staff of Leetonia, Mohawk, and Transition has come to an end. We appreciate all their enthusiasm, hard work, smiles, and laughter! Now we look forward to welcoming you all back in the spring as we enter the growing season.

The Coat & Clothing (& More) Giveaway here at Common Ground and Goodness Grows was a huge success, in no small part thanks to the donations many of you dropped off. More than 200 people walked through our doors that chilly Saturday. They found all sorts of items that they needed - coats, clothing, shoes, books, games, Halloween costumes, stuffed animals...the list goes on! We are already preparing for the next Giveaway in October 2020. Anytime throughout the year that you decide to clean out closets, drawers, attics, etc., consider bringing your unwanted items here. We are thrilled to accept any clean and usable items that you think may help someone else. As always, we will freely give those items to anyone with a need, without requiring proof of income or residency.

Come see us for Jungle Jam, Juicy Jam, & more!

Now is the time of year when we reflect and give thanks for the good things in our lives and all of us at Goodness Grows give thanks for YOU. Without your interest in and support of our programs, we wouldn't be here! We thank you for all your kindness and your donations of time, supplies, skills, and funding. Without your generous donations and participation in our programs, we cannot operate and we cannot continue our work with our clients, the classrooms, mission groups, food banks, and more. You truly do make a difference. Thank you!
