We have good news about July winner Peace Garden Project, right after this quick update...

Build Bridges, Not Walls

In 122 AD the Roman Empire built a nice long wall along their northern border in Britannia, Hadrian's Wall. And just look where it got them! Anyway, I'm up here hiking the length of it this week, coast to coast across Northern England, but I'm still on Charitocracy duty in the evenings. Someone has to give all your money away, right?!

July 2022 winner Peace Garden Project

At midnight on July 31 we named Charitocracy OBX's 22nd monthly winner! Congratulations to Peace Garden Project, nominated by donor Griffinan. They work against -isms and phobias in the world while feeding people. They don't just grow food, they grow healthy community. And this makes me feel especially proud since I've been an avid volunteer in the gardens ever since they first won almost 2 years ago! You can find their website here.

Now you have a week to sweeten the pot with a special one-time donation of any amount, which we'll add straight to the check we write to PGP next week.

So finally, check out this video in which the Founder and Executive Director, Rev. Dr. Michelle Lewis, invites local families to come "shop" at a Peace Garden Project food distribution event a few months ago. Then take a moment to feel good about your part in our collective $500+ grant to help with their ongoing work!

Have a great August and be sure to log into Charitocracy OBX to update your votes or nominate a new cause!
