Programs

  • Program 1 [2019]

    In our Back-Farms program, we were able to harvest 9,291 pounds of fresh produce. The majority of this produce was distributed to 125 senior citizens and 45 cancer patients on a weekly basis. This contributes to our organizational total of 55,594 pounds. Overall, approximately 4,625 families received produce through our distribution sites and partners. We are very intentional with "how" our produce is grown. In the backyards of the 40 low-income senior citizens in our Back-Farms program, we teach garden apprentices of all ages sustainable growing techniques, foster deep cross-generational relationships, and create a positive food culture in our community.

  • Program 2 [2019]

    In 2019, our FruitShare program recovered 37,303 pounds of fruit that would have otherwise gone to waste, with the help of 162 volunteers who dedicated 615 hours of service. Our volunteers are educated on basic fruit tree maintenance, learn the significance of fresh nutritious food, and forge a deep connection to their community. The fruit is collected and distributed (through both our partners' and our own distribution channels) to families in need.
