Park Cities Mothers and Sons Working Together

This past fall, mothers and sons from YMSL
Highland Park
worked together to answer the greatest need of
Bonton Farms
.
We purchased lumber and supplies to construct 10 long benches and 5 farm tables. The tables and benches will be used for pop-up chef dinners where proceeds will benefit
Bonton Farms
and at community gatherings at the newly opened
Bonton
Market, weekly bible studies, etc. Having these tables and benches will alleviate the need to rent them for events.
Table and bench construction began on the Ultimate Gift prep day
on October 8th
and despite a rain day, construction continued on the following days. Along with the construction project, we were also able to
paint one coat of the entire perimeter of the storage containers. Future volunteers at
Bonton
will finish the painting of the containers.
In addition to the physical work, we also learned about an exciting result of our Ultimate Gift project. In keeping with their mission to “to
restore lives, create jobs and ignite hope
in the most forgotten and neglected neighborhoods”,
Bonton
was so pleased with the tables and benches that they are considering making the tables and benches a side business. This will not only create an additional income stream for Bonton, but it could provide jobs for the Bonton residents, giving them useful life skills. The mothers and sons from
YMSL
Highland Park
celebrate another successful Ultimate Gift experience!
