VetCorps
is a partnership between Not Forgotten Outreach and Rocky Mountain Youth Corps

sustainable, locally grown vegetables to children and the community. Through
fulfillment of the second mission, VetCorps members use agriculture as
ecotherapy while learning about horticulture, sustainability, and successful
business practices.
