Getting our hands dirty for a greener Greensboro! 🌱

Our CFGG team traded desks for garden beds during Lunch in LeBauer Park, spending the day giving back through hands-on community service. Alongside the amazing LeBauer Park staff, we helped w**d and refresh Carolyn's Garden, the Children's Garden, and the patio garden spaces, ensuring these welcoming community areas continue to thrive for everyone who enjoys them.

We're grateful for opportunities to care for the places that bring our community together and to spend time connecting as a team while making a positive impact. Thank you to the LeBauer Park crew for partnering with us and helping make the day such a success!
