QCF Volunteer Opportunity

This Saturday, March 1st at 9:00 am we will be cleaning out what will be the temporary headquarters for QCF. Meet at 195 Glenwood Avenue (one block north of Utica on the back side of the Engel Mansion). If you have them, bring work gloves, a dust mask and a square tip shovel. We'll bring coffee and donuts for those who like to indulge from time to time. See you there!

The winter has been eventful for QCF. We started the cold season by receiving our incorporation papers from New York State. We are now an official charitable corporation. We are working on the 501(c)3 tax exempt status from the IRS.

Our second major event of the winter was the purchase of our first parcel on the farm property. This parcel came with a house at the City of Buffalo's tax sale last fall. We received the deed and will soon begin renovations on the house. We are also planning our first planting season on this parcel. We will share details as they become available but plan on a few work days to clear trees and brush from the property.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support.
