Laura Lauffer says, "I donate to [Toxic Free
NC] because they are doing targeted work on the ground
level...we are so fortunate to have this resource
right here in our community." Here Laura's kids
Riana and Rhys show off their family's tomato harvest.

This year, we want to bring more people
than ever on board with our mission of getting pesticide
pollution out of our food, water and our bodies. Our goal is to build a
grassroots movement to advocate for toxic-free kids and just,
sustainable agriculture that puts people before profits. Our
friends at the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation want to help
us meet this goal, and have issued a challenge: if
we can raise $10,000 in new donations in 2008, the foundation
will match it with a $10,000 grant. Imagine how much
that could help us grow!
Want to know how can you help? If you’ve never
given before, consider making a donation. Every gift
counts towards the $10,000 challenge. If you have donated
previously and you increase this year’s gift, that
increase counts towards the challenge, too. You can
make a gift online anytime at www.toxicfreenc.org.
Most of all, we want to meet new people
who want to live in a cleaner, safer, better world. Invite
us to your church, book club, PTA group, community festival,
or any event where you think people will want to join the movement
for a Toxic Free North Carolina. Call us at 1-877-NO
SPRAY, or email us to get us out to your community.
