working from home due<br />
to the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
Obligingly, Dan changed into<br />
work clothes and together<br />
we proceeded to set up our<br />
trellis. This year, Dan and I<br />
have definitely overplanted<br />
our beans with the intent to<br />
donate into the food pantries<br />
knowing that more families<br />
will have a need to use this<br />
resource of fresh produce.<br />
Currently in <strong>Siouxland</strong>, there<br />
are many families that are<br />
on unstable ground due to<br />
the Coronavirus. The beauty<br />
of the Up From The Earth Paracord and ring<br />
system is that community<br />
members can Plant, Grow, Share or receive assistance at any<br />
of the 30 donation sites around the Sioux City area. I might<br />
have taken a lashing at the beginning of this project, however,<br />
learning more about relationships and the network of support<br />
our community has to provide is truly extraordinary.<br />
