A <br />variety of workshops and events will be held in this <br />sustainably constructed space where participants will <br />not only learn about the climate-friendly construction <br />but also the ecological topics taught within. <br />Our food forest will provide ample food that will be <br />given to those in our community through the efforts <br />of PORCH Hillsborough. PORCH has a streamlined and <br />efficient way to distribute food to those who need it <br />most and are glad to partner with Jubilee on this <br />effort as well as distributing food from our market <br />garden. <br />1.

Please describe any ways in which low-income or <br />marginalized communities/households were <br />engaged in the creation of this project proposal. <br />Jubilee has made a commitment that food produced <br />on our farm will be used either in clinical <br />programming or donated to PORCH food boxes. The <br />food from our food forest is no exception. This food <br />will be given to PORCH for distribution to low-income <br />communities. In addition, the cob classroom <br />community build will intentionally engage individuals <br />with mental illness living in community. Jubilee’s <br />founder Dr. Nora Dennis and the builder, Sage <br />Stoneman, both have first degree relatives living with <br />severe mental illness. The goal of the project is to <br />create opportunities for climate crisis mitigation, <br />community collaboration and healthy volunteering <br />for individuals with mental illness <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 61C3903E-05FE-49FE-A6AF-E50B7D61917E
