Compost Driver Volunteers Needed

Would you like to help our schools compost their fruit & veggie scraps at Westford Academy? We need volunteers to transport bags of fruit & veggie scraps, twice-a-week, from the Crisafulli and/or Blanchard school over to Westford Academy, where students make compost. Volunteers can sign up even if they can only commit to transporting food scraps once or twice a month. Compost drivers get free bags of compost! If interested, contact Sharon at westfordcommunitycompost@gmail.com

Have a nice weekend. Jim Antonelli
