Our hands smell like basil. We’re happy to partner with our friends from Wickliffe H.S. @learn_leadserve to harvest basil at the @ohiocityfarm. We’re always grateful to work at the largest urban farm in Ohio, managed by refugees who contribute so much to our beautiful city.

We served breakfast and lunch along with smiles to those in need. Through the guidance of Veronica Favela, we also learned about the multitude of programs ⁦@wsccenter⁩ to help clients gain housing, employment, and job skills to gain confidence and get back on their feet.

The rain cannot stop us! Despite the downpour we headed out on the Cuyahoga River on kayaks to clean up trash and learn from @trashfish_cle the ways we can all maintain a healthy river for our community. #CuyahogaRiver

Day 2: At Ohio City Farm we cleared space for garlic plants, while overlooking Cleveland. Tatine and Safi shared their journey from refugee camps in Rwanda and a wartorn Afghanistan. They shared how the farm helped them acclimate to Cleveland and contribute to the community.

Our Service Immersion team departed today with open minds and hearts, ready to learn about urban and environmental issues so they can better serve our community.
