ART FOR THE ANIMALS is a Fundraiser to be held Saturday, September 26, 2009 at Denver Urban Homesteading.  All proceeds will help feed the animals at The Urban Farm. 

The Urban Farm is a 16-year old 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization providing direct programming for approximately 3,000 children a year to teach agricultural and environmental education to urban and at-risk youth and their families.  We do this by helping to create a sense of positive self-regard and self-reliance, a strong work ethic, and hope.  The underling value of The Urban Farm is that urban children will be exposed to the positive values of farm life-respect for the environment, appreciation for animals and plants, team spirit and the satisfaction of hard work leading to a job well done.  A side effect of The Urban Farm is that kids find a sense of belonging and independence, in short, a sense of community.
