Happy 4th Birthday ReBuildUp!

The background of the gallery image (click to enlarge) shows a mostly chronological order of the year (March 2017-March 2018) in pictures starting with pics from the 99th Annual NCAFCS in Charlotte almost exactly one year ago up to the Healthy For Good Expo just last weekend in High Point. The text is made up of screen shots from our new Food Growing League (FGL) started this past January.

We look forward to continuing to expand the program and improve the Health & Entrepreneurship skills of students and adults alike.
