Let Us Learn, Inc.
Let Us Learn, Inc (LUL) puts healthy food directly into the hands of those in need throughout our community. Our mission is to increase access to healthy food through community and family engagement.
In our work across Floyd County, we are positively impacting food insecurity by building and maintaining school gardens, working within six of our local schools educating students with a farm-to-school curriculum, helping families garden at home, and harvesting and gleaning from local farmers and our own gardens.
Whiteflag Season is from Nov 15th - April 15th. The shelter needs volunteers to work shifts while it is open. They also take donations.
