These resident gardens will empower low income and unhoused communities to grow their own food, offering increased food security, better nutrition, and community connection. We will build upon the success of our existing urban farm, and our experience launching and leading 17 resident food growing spaces. We also train youth interns, and host free interactive farm workshops.

Why it Matters

Growing Hope Gardens helps increase nutritious food  access, tackles food insecurity, empowers communities, and promotes sustainability in low-income urban areas. By creating communal resident food gardens, we reduce barriers to access for fresh and culturally relevant produce, builds social connections, and creates job opportunities for unhoused and marginalized individuals.

Our model strengthens food independence, educates on nutrition, and supports long-term change in public health, resilience and sustainability.

With your help, we can bring our communal food gardens to even more people and continue growing hope, one garden at a time.
