The biggest success is that this project not only taught me how to garden (it was my first
garden!), Also gave fruitful harvests (at least 10 baskets of vegetables per week), but the
biggest success for me has been in bonding with the community and breaking people's social
isolation. In fact, the garden is located on a very busy street and the people who walked by
the garden would stop to chat with us, congratulate us on the garden and get to know us. By
the end of the fall, we knew the names of several people in the neighborhood. For me, it is
this sense of community that has been the greatest success of the project, especially in times
of a pandemic where one can feel isolated and alone.

My biggest success is the appreciation of the homeless population
for the kits. Before I started my project, I was under the impression that
the individuals who received the kits would not be very happy since
they are not very exciting items, but all 90 individuals who received a
kit were very happy to receive it. The response from homeless people
was very positive and to help a large population that is not getting
enough help was a great experience!

Honestly, when we give the hot meals to the homeless we could
see the hope in their eyes, just being able to give them a hot meal is
one of our greatest successes. Covid affects health a lot, and the well
being of the homeless who may not eat during the day so we were very
happy to contribute to their health. They were very grateful and happy.
