Tomato Days 2023 Brought To You By
The NFL & Lowe's

Volunteers planting fruit trees at Mimi's Pantry to kick off community greening projects around the NFL Draft.

Our team at KCCG is just as excited as the rest of Kansas City about the fact that the NFL Draft is coming to town! And we’re even more excited to share that this year’s Tomato Days events are being sponsored by the NFL and Lowe’s! When you arrive for the sale, you’ll notice some major improvements to our Beanstalk Children’s Garden – including a new shed and fence, made possible by the NFL and Lowe’s. Green Card members visiting the sale on Thursday will be welcomed by NFL and Lowe’s reps, and find a few special surprises in store.

KCCG has also been proud to team up with NFL Green on two other community greening projects, scheduled around the draft. On April 7th, volunteers from NFL Green, Verizon and the Kansas City Chiefs joined KCCG and community volunteers to plant a 50-tree orchard at Mimi’s Pantry in the Northland. On Wednesday, April 26th, we’ll be working together to construct a new garden at Central Middle School in KCMO. We are so grateful to these wonderful partners for their support, as we work together to bring healthy food to more people in Kansas City!
