Volunteers sought for Dig Day

Be Well-Lake County, a diabetes management program, is seeking volunteers to help set up garden boxes, move mulch and other activities to ready the garden for the annual "Dig Day" Saturday, June 11 at the North Chicago Community Health Center, 2215 14th St. About 130 garden boxes are used to grow produce for diabetes patients and their families. Volunteers can help for an hour or two, or a full afternoon, leading up to the launch of the garden. The schedule is flexible. Those interested in volunteering should contact Julie Krohn, Be Well Lake County diabetes program coordinator, jkrohn@lakecountyil.gov. The effort is a collaboration between Northshore University HealthSystem and the Lake County Health Department.
