Capture the rain in your very own rain barrel


Rain barrels are a great way to collect rain water from down spouts which can be reused for either gardening, cleaning your car, sidewalk, and more!  This Sunday, July 13th, join New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC) at the DIY Rain Barrel Workshop and go home with your very own rain barrel.  A construction demonstration is a component of the workshop, so that you can learn how to build  one yourself.


NKCDC is a non-profit organization whose goal is to improve neighborhoods, including Kensington, Fishtown, and Port Richmond, through sustainable means. NKCDC assists over 30,000 low and moderate income families and 60,000 residents annually. As an adoptee partner of Soak it Up Adoption, NKCDC maintains several GSI tools including tree trenches and rain gardens.


There are only ten spots per workshop, so make sure to register for your spot today!
