This year’s Building African American Minds (BAAM) Fest at Idlewild Park in Easton celebrated the organization’s success in helping African American males become productive, confident citizens through positive academic, social, emotional, and spiritual experiences as children and young men.
BAAM has a community garden project this year designed to promote a healthy, vibrant community and to educate all ages on growing healthy food. Every Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m., at the corner of Jowite and Moton Street in Easton, there will be community volunteer days to work on the garden. In collaboration with BAAM, Dock Street Foundation is supporting the project. For further information on the Garden Volunteer Days, contact Aleya at 410-989-3536.
