Ingomar Garden Club prides itself in having members of our club involved with community projects not always "garden-related" we feel their efforts relate to our goals. As a long time volunteer of North Hills Community Outreach, I feel that I contribute to helping clients that come in to the Allison Park or Millvale offices for assistance with food, heat, light, or rental problems to name a few.
Elayne Masters is a member of IGC and also volunteers at the North Hills Community Outreach. She keeps us up to date on what part we can play to help in their many projects.
The North Hills Community Outreach is a wonderful non-profit organization that helps low income people only in the North Hills area and all donations and funds go directly to the those clients.Ingomar Garden Club prides itself in having members of our club involved with community projects not always "garden-related.
