Your gifts, both large and small, will help us to achieve our mission to foster communities where everyone has access to a thriving local food system.

Thank you for your generous support! People like you help us make a difference in the lives of thousands of people and their families each year.

Every dollar raised provides someone in our community the veggies they need for a day.
