Summary: Provide thirty Garden boxes for Seniors to plant and tend vegetable and flower plots at a Senior Housing facility.
Windsor Gardens is part of an overall Interfaith Community Services program. It provides a Supportive Housing program for Seniors in Escondido, CA. As part of the Apartment community, continous Case Management is provided. In addition, there is a food pantry, Healthcare coordination and socialization opportunities provided. The Grant will be used to purchase approximately thirty Garden Boxes to be placed in a prepared outdoor area near the living quarters. The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary will help each Senior to select vegetables and flowers to plant in the designated garden box. Tools and gloves will be provided. The Rotary members will interact with the community to assure that the garden boxes are well maintained and refreshed as needed. The goal of the project is to provide a purposeful outdoor activity and a place of outdoor socialization for the community of 132 Seniors.
Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed)
A grant to the food pantry at Interfaith community services would support walk-in and case managed clients throughout North County. Interfaith has a total of four food pantries, including public ones located in Escondido, Oceanside, and Carlsbad and a private one at Windsor Gardens senior living. A contribution from the Del Mar Solana Beach Rotary would support Continued Stock of a variety of foods at the pantry. This comes at a fortuitous time, where SNAP benefits are being reduced county wide, and the need is that an all-time high.
