Fundraising
1. Mushroom for a Cause
MMLM Leadership introduced to its volunteers, sustainable means of growing crops. One of which is tending mushroom fruiting bags.
Each bag can yield 1/4 to 1/2 kilo of mushrooms. This sustainable eco initiative by MMLM is one of the means to eradicate hunger among children.
Each volunteer can gather produce as much ten times during the course of the fruiting bag's life span which is four to five months.
Mushroom fruiting bags are low maintenance because they only require 5 to 6 times liberal water spray a day and can thrive under the sink in a damp and cool place.
