The Mulberry Outreach garden is located at the corner of Walnut and New street. It was established in 2010 to provide fresh produce for the Macon outreach food pantry. Volunteers plant and harvest a variety of fruits and vegetables throughout the year. Fruits include strawberries, blackberries, figs, pomegranates, and grapes of several varieties. Some of the favorite vegetables are cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, peppers, okra, sweet potatoes, beans and peas. Volunteers work on Monday and Friday in the morning hours. Come by for a visit and we will put you to work!! Carolyn Barber 478-832-9309. Jane Moore 912-507-3921. Our thanks to Audie Norman for the design and installation of our new Mulberry St. Outreach Garden signs!

Open Your Eyes: Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Wednesday, November 13

9:30—11:30 a.m. Location: Vineville United Methodist Church

It is unfortunate but true – human trafficking is all around us, but we often do not recognize it. In this program, a victim specialist with the FBI and an FBI special agent will provide information about human trafficking: the victims, the perpetrators, the organizational structure, how victims can be recognized, websites and apps used by predators, and human trafficking in Central Georgia.

Following their presentations, speakers from local rescue organizations and education groups will describe what is going on in Central Georgia to prevent trafficking and help victims.

Speakers: Amanda Gulli, Victim Specialist; FBI Kim Granich, Special Agent; FBI Cynthia Smith, Out of Darkness; Christine Watson, MG ALERT; Tammy Crutchfield, Ph.D., Professor of Marketing, Mercer University, Traffick Jam

Please make a reservation: bibbcms@gmail.com or 478-746-0680 or https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QS2Z3WQ

Parking is available in the lots on Forest Avenue. Enter the Christian Life Center from the main parking lot. Presented by Bibb County Medical Society/Middle Georgia Educational Foundation,
