A morning session at 135 West 23rd Street with KidsKnowRights, hosted by VISIONS' program and community engagement team, for blind and visually impaired New Yorkers. We committed about 60 boxes; the pot shipment arrived broken, so 10 went out on the day and the rest are being scheduled.

Somewhere this spring, the total number of MintBoxes donated since 2020 passed two thousand. It took three years to donate the first two hundred and about two more to donate the next eighteen hundred. The year-by-year records are being reconciled for the impact page.

Back at Hudson Guild — this time with growing boxes. Members and residents opened their kits together at the courtyard tables, picking their herbs and starting them on the spot. Shared by the team in May 2026; the exact event date is being confirmed for the record.
