WEBCOG Seeds Hope With Veterans Garden in New Bern
WEBCOG formed in 2012 to aid disabled, disadvantaged and homeless veterans. Located in New Bern's Duffyfield, the garden offers transitional employment and an on site farmers market from March to November while proceeds fund the program. COVID-19 halts the market, risking $3,000 to $5,000 in income though staff expect to persevere with grants and city lot advantages. Loray Wallace Singleton, founder, notes volunteers paused but may return with safety gear and phased visits.
