FPA Weekly Community News | How to Create a Survival Kit for Your Home

As we prepare for a second wave of Covid-19 at the same time as hurricane season ramps up along the East coast, now is the time to check your supplies. With the possibility of a second shutdown/quarantine or disruption to our food supplies, starting or supplementing your garden is also a good idea.
