OUR WORK
We plant hope in our community by cultivating land and community, nourishing our neighbors in need, educating and empowering local people.
Our Vision
We believe that getting our hands in the soil and working together to cultivate healthy growing spaces for our community is transformative.
We believe local people should have access to safe outdoor spaces to learn and grow.
We believe all people deserve access to fresh, healthy food.
We provide a place where dignity is restored, healing takes place, a table where no one is excluded, and a community where peace and joy abound.
Food Security
Immediate Food Assistance
We exist to meet the needs of the nearly 30,000 people in New Hanover County who are experiencing hunger. We believe that all people deserve access to nutritious and quality food options including fresh produce.
Our produce is distributed to families seeking food assitance on a weekly basis in partnership with House of Mercy Food Pantry & other food relief services in Wilmington.
Longterm Food Security
We believe that strengthening food security in our community means increasing the amount of food produced in our county & city limits.
This looks like:
- Local people growing food to share with their neighbors
- Gardening & farming education available for all
- Interconnectedness – knowing our neighbors, working together with our schools, communities of faith, small businesses, and local growers to develop strong collaborative systems
If you’re looking to learn gardening/farming skills, check out our educational opportunities.
If you currently run a community garden or want to start one and are looking for support & community as you do so, reach out to [email protected] to join our local Community Garden Meetup.
We are committed to serving our neighbors who don’t know where their next meal is coming from
