The North Fulton chapter of YMSL (Young Men’s Service League) completed their yearly Ultimate Gift event in March. After many rain setbacks and a few years of “not normal," we want to celebrate this VICTORY. Most of all we celebrate the work of the City of Alpharetta Parks and Rec department and their Rucker Farm. A new irrigation and drainage system installed over two days of work will allow the farm to continue to bring healthy education to outlets in and around Alpharetta. The farm partners with North Fulton Community charities to provide a portion of their fresh produce to feed fresh those in need. What fun digging in the dirt and being together! Learn more about the farm and find ways for your family to be a part of the fun.
YMSL is a nationwide, 20-year-old philanthropic organization that allows and encourages high school sons and their moms to serve local community needs. The North Fulton chapter is one of four local chapters in the area. Each chapter chooses a local philanthropy every spring to serve just a little bit extra in a specific area of need for that year’s Ultimate Gift. As the National Chapter said, “Despite an uphill climb of uncontrollable obstacles, the majority of (our) established chapters found creative ways to make a significant difference for selected philanthropies and for their membership (this 2021-22 year) with Ultimate Gifts.”
Health, wholeness, and community is here and present in so many ways at the farm and in our next generation! Congratulations as well to our class of 2022 graduates who can and will continue this in their future communities in the next season of their life!
