How will my donation be used?
These funds will be used to maintain our community gardening program and our food rescuing program. Currently we are raising funds to get a better vehicle for next season, secure a permanent location to expand our food production capacity, and contribute to our staffing and programming expenses. Our community gardening program engages young people and community members in gardening education, food justice conversations, and food access initiatives.
