RESCHEDULED:
Think Green Thursdays | Rain Gardens

NEW DATE: October 22, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Where: North Park Library, 849 Sharpe Rd., Burlington 27217
Fee: Free, but registration is required.

Do you have an area in your landscape that always stays wet? Do you have a small river flowing through your yard when it rains? A great way to tackle these problems is to install a rain garden to capture that excess water and use plants to help reduce the pollution that might otherwise make its way into our drinking water. Join us as we explore ways to capture and redirect runoff in your landscape.

This class is taught by NC Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Alamance County.

En la solicitud SNAP, la palabra "hogar" se refiere a personas que viven juntas y compran y cocinan comida. 🏠

Por ejemplo, los compañeros de piso en la universidad serían considerados dos hogares separados si no compran y cocinan juntos. Los padres que viven con hijos adultos también pueden considerarse hogares separados.

Conocer el tamaño de tu hogar es importante, ya que eso determina los límites de ingresos que tendrás que seguir para saber si eres elegible para el SNAP.

¿Tienes preguntas? Si desea saber si es elegible para SNAP, llame a la oficina de Más En Mi Canasta al 1-855-240-1451.
