February 13 - We have been struggling with making the decision to move forward for the 4th year of Vermont Plants Sunflowers for Ukraine. Our up-front costs are about $3,000 with another $1,500 expected for delivering and mailing seed boxes / packets across every community in the state and some in NH.
As of noon today, we have given the order to Leahy Press in Montpelier for printing 1,500 rack cards and 16,000 seed packets. We hope to have 50 lbs of autumn beauty sunflower seeds ordered before the end of the day from Silver Falls in Oregon. (Approx. 1.2 million seeds)
As of this morning our balance from last year was approx. $850. We have been supporting World Central Kitchen and Ukraine Children's Action Project with some of the remaining 2023 funds. We will continue that practice going forward. We have transferred personal funds in order to be able to acquire seed and printing. We hope to have everything here by the 1st of March.
If you are able, please considering supporting this work and the people of Ukraine. More than ever it appears that Ukraine needs the support of individuals. You can use the Paypal link on our Support page are mail a check. Anything that you can do will be greatly appreciated and greatly shared.
