Concrete Jungle celebrates fall fruits by pickin' Muscadines and Scuppernongs Saturday, Oct. 9, at 10 a.m. at a beautiful vineyard in Sparta, just outside of Milledgeville! This vineyard is home to almost 12 acres of grapes, with 13 different varieties growing. Meet at the farm; specific details will be sent out 1 or 2 days before the pick. After picking, there will be an adventure you don’t want to miss. Please bring the following with you:
- sturdy, close-toed shoes
- comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dirty and can move around in!
- A mask! This is optional for folks who are vaccinated.
- Water, and plenty of it!
- A sack lunch!
- A vessel for picking Muscadines into (buckets & milk jugs with the top cut off work!), bonus points if you've got string so you can tie it to yourself for hands-free picking!
CAR POOL: If you'd like to request a ride or offer a ride to others going on this pick, you can do so using this link: https://www.groupcarpool.com/t/n3bx6z. Note that this is not a Concrete Jungle organized carpool; it is a site for volunteers to organize carpooling individually. Please be sure to discuss departure and return times, and COVID safety protocols with the folks you plan to carpool with!
In accordance with public health guidelines:
- Masks are optional for volunteers who are fully vaccinated. However, we strongly encourage the use of masks when it may be difficult to socially distance from other volunteers during a pick or harvest event.
- Individuals who are older than 65 or have a chronic health condition should not volunteer until fully vaccinated.
- Individuals who are sick or live with someone who is should not volunteer.
Note: All staff that oversee our programs are fully vaccinated. We ask volunteers who have traveled or may have been exposed to Covid-19 to not volunteer until they receive a negative test result."
First Five Freedoms is proud to join Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, The Temple, and All Saints Episcopal Church for "Faith, Law, & Democracy: A Community Conversation on the Public Good and the Rule of Law" on Tuesday June 2. We hope you will consider joining us for this important discussion. Americans across the political spectrum are grappling with a shared unease: the feeling that something foundational is slipping. Trust in institutions is eroding. The norms that once governed public life are contested. And the concept of the public good — the idea that we share a common stake in fair, just, and accountable governance — is increasingly hard to find in our public discourse. This program brings together faith leaders, legal experts, and engaged community members for an evening of honest conversation about what is at stake. Hosted at All Saints Episcopal Church and co-presented by The Temple, Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law (GLRL), and First Five Freedoms, the event weaves together spiritual reflection, legal analysis, and civic dialogue to address one central question: What does it mean to protect the rule of law — and why does it matter for all of us, right now? The evening will include reflection, analysis, and discussion designed to:
