Cobblestone Project The Farm Cobblestone Project Community DC   point8 Logo
The Farm is a new initiative that involves the Cobblestone Project farming some rich Benton County land owned by David Carter to grow crops that will be used 1) to feed the hungry of NW Arkansas, 2) provide a foundation for Community Supported Agriculture opportunities and 3) provide financial resources from the sale of a portion of the harvest in order will offset operational costs and become fully self-sufficient. The D.C. are the collective Distribution and Collection efforts of the Cobblestone Project that are designed to bring relief in the form of basic supplies to local shelters, families and individuals in our Community.
The mission of 3 Bags in 2 Days is to provide bags of basic necessities to those living in poverty. Through the bag, we hope to offer a sense dignity, respect and a little relief to those in our community who may be without.

 

Could you donate 0.8% of your waking hours to serve your community? Point 8 opportunities are times for people and families to serve in their communities either with local non-profits or on special projects designed to help those in need.
